Matthew Francis deplored: > Conrad representing Cockney > by writing 'says' as 'sez', which always makes me wonder how he pronounced > the word himself. > I don't know how much of a residual Polish trace remained in Conrad's accent - but upper-class Edwardian English tended to put a long a into "says" - more "sa:is" than "sez".
