I'm too cute for 'em by a long way; go aboard an' say nothin'. So I came away, and I've scarce been five minutes aboard before you arrived.

And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him. And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen. And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
And hearing us mutter that it seemed cruel, he smiled for the third time. "Yes," he said slowly, "it's a bit 'ard on us, because we've done nothing to deserve it. But things are like that, so far as I can see. One thing comes pushin' out another, and so you go on. I've thought about it you get to thinkin' and worryin' about the rights o' things, sittin' up here all day.
"I don't want to be too 'ard on you, but at the same time I can't let my man suffer. I'll make it as easy as I can, and I order you to pay 'im five shillings a week till the twenty-five pounds is cleared off." I laughed; I couldn't 'elp it. I just stood there and laughed at 'im. "If you don't," ses the skipper, "then I shall lay the facts of the case afore the guv'nor.
"Now," ses the conjurer, as 'e sat down, "all of you go and stand near the man woe's going to shoot. When I say 'Three, fire. Why! there's the watch on the ground there!" He pointed with 'is finger, and as they all looked down he jumped up out o' that chair and set off on the road to Wickham as 'ard as 'e could run.
We waited till night, and when everybody was snoring 'ard we went over to the boy's bunk and went all through 'is pockets and felt the linings, and then we went back to our side and Bill said wot 'e thought about Jimmy in whispers. "He must ha' got it tied round 'is waist next to 'is skin, like Thomas 'ad," I says.

Still, I don't," said the Pedler, spitting dejectedly into the ditch, "I don't bear you no 'ard feelin's for it, no'ow me always makin' it a pint to forgive them as woefully oppresses me, likewise them as despitefully uses me it might ha' been cold, and dark, wi' ice and snow, and I might ha' froze to death but we won't say no more about it."
You've been a good sister to me, indeed you 'ave; I shall never forget you, and will write to you.... It is very 'ard parting." "Come, come, never mind those tears. You have got your money; say good-bye to your sister and run along." "Don't be so 'eartless," cried Jenny, whose susceptibilities were now on the move.
