Ta’e the thick wi’ th’ thin. This wor a bit o’ thin for once.

Hi,
Here are some words from the novel Lady Chatterley's Lover(the ninth line, page 253, chapter 12) by Lawrence (planetebook,here):
(background:the following words are describes what happened after the sexual intercourse between Connie and Mellors )

His words were small comfort. She(Connie) sobbed aloud.
‘Nay, nay!’ he(Mellors) said. ‘Ta’e the thick wi’ th’ thin. This wor a bit o’ thin for once.’

I can guess the part is: take the thick with thin. This were(maybe was) a bit of(I feel the of is redundant) thin for once.
But what's the meaning of take the thick with thin please? And what does This wor a bit o’ thin for once mean

Thank you in advance

Let's block ads! (Why?)

Ta’e the thick wi’ th’ thin. This wor a bit o’ thin for once.
