Dear All,

How would you use 'howsoever' in a sentence? Could you let me know what the word 'howsoever' means in the following context?

'...There, never cry, my little maid! You ought to have cried afore; no need o' crying now 'tis all over. Well, howsoever, try to step over and see me and mother-law tomorrow, and ha' a bit of dinner wi' us.'

It is meant as a pause and could mean:

whatever or anyway or besides all that . . .

@PUNKEY,
Thank you, Punkey. 'Anyway' works in this context!
