"You're on'y young once, Bob," George said to him when 'e made a remark one arternoon as to the fast way his money was going, "and if it hadn't ha' been for me you'd never 'ave lived to grow old." Wot with spending the money and always 'aving George with them when they went out, it wasn't long afore Bob and Gerty 'ad a quarrel. "I don't like a pore-spirited man," she ses.
"I left my pore wife with 'er apron over her 'ead sobbing as if her 'art would break," ses Bob Pretty; "not because o' the loss of the money so much, but to think of Henery Walker doing such a thing and 'aving to go to jail for it." "I never touched your money, and you know it," ses Henery Walker, finding his breath at last. I don't believe it was there. You and your wife 'ud swear anything."

"You don't mean to say ?" "Yes-It. Bad. Quite a long case they made of it. But they got 'im, though he dodged tremenjous. Traced 'is 'aving passed, oh! nearly a dozen bad 'arf-crowns." "And you didn't ?"
"We was sitting up 'ere one evening 'aving a mug o' beer and a pipe same as I might be now if I'd got any baccy left and talking about it, when we 'eard a shout and saw a ragged-looking tramp running toward us as 'ard as he could run. Every now and then he'd look over 'is shoulder and give a shout, and then run 'arder than afore.
"I've been in my lodgings thirteen years." "I know," said Mr. Teak; "but I've got a partikler reason for wanting you. Our lodger, Mr. Dunn, left last week, and I only thought of you yesterday.

Then she 'appened to look up and see us, just as that silly woman was trying to walk arm-in-arm. Twice I knocked her 'and away, and then, right afore my wife and the party next door, she put her arm round my waist.
'To be, or not to be, that is the question!" "Be that you, Mr. Belloo, sir?" "Even so, Adam.
