"There you go, John-James Beggoe, talken' as though I grudged my own cheild maken' herself 'ansome. Vassie, my worm, you may have that bit o' blue ribbon I bought last Corpus Fair 'tes in the chest." Vassie was off before her mother had time to change her mind, and John-James began slowly to rinse the china through the darkened water, on whose surface the grease lay in a shimmering arabesque.
"And the worst of it is, there isn't a better glass of wine in London, and 'is lordship knows it." "I suppose that's what he comes for," said Lady Monogram, being quite as uncivil in her way as the nobleman. "'E's like a good many others. He knows where he can get a good dinner. After all, there's no attraction like that. Of course, a 'ansome woman won't admit that, Lady Monogram."
Always the same cette ange, the most wise, the most amiable! And when she has finished her education and made her debut, to be the most beautiful and admired wherever she has gone, she has vept vept, I tell you, to say adieu to her beloved Mademoiselle!

'Oh yes, you do know, sir! said Mrs Gamp, 'and so does Mrs Mould, your 'ansome pardner too, sir; and so do I, although the blessing of a daughter was deniged me; which, if we had had one, Gamp would certainly have drunk its little shoes right off its feet, as with our precious boy he did, and arterward send the child a errand to sell his wooden leg for any money it would fetch as matches in the rough, and bring it home in liquor; which was truly done beyond his years, for ev'ry individgle penny that child lost at toss or buy for kidney ones; and come home arterwards quite bold, to break the news, and offering to drown himself if sech would be a satisfaction to his parents.
She's going to be a wonnerful 'ansome woman, David, that gal is, take it from me. 'Ere she is!" "She's like a rose," said David, following the slim, scarlet creature with his eyes.

"What is likely to happen, Joey?" "Well," said he, "girls do get married." "You don't mean to say Ruby's going to be married!" David's thoughts ran to Dick Cronk, although he knew there was no possible chance for him. "Well, there's a chap mighty attentive to 'er these days. You never can tell. She's a 'ansome girl and but I daresay it's best not to count chickens before they're 'atched.

"That's right enough," agreed John-James; "it's only Vassie you can help. And helpen her will help your plan too, won't it? For it'll make one of his own kind in his family. And she's gwain to be 'ansome, she is." "You're quite right, John-James, and I'm obliged to you for the suggestion.

They was all dressed like May- Day gorgeous! And as to Wine, they swam in all sorts. Altogether, I passed a pleasin evenin, but with a tendency to feel muddled, until I considered it good manners to get up and say, "Mr. Chops, the best of friends must part, I thank you for the wariety of foreign drains you have stood so 'ansome, I looks towards you in red wine, and I takes my leave."

When he could, he used to press Tom Quambo, an old free negro, into the service; and Quambo enjoyed the fun as much as Mike did.
