Frank Osbaldistone, are not the first bully-boy that has said stand to a true man. There was Jack Winterfield, in my young days, kept the best company in the land at horse-races and cock-fights who but he hand and glove was I with Jack. Push the bottle, Mr.
For three wild lads were we, brave boys, And three wild lads were we; Thou on the land, and I on the sand, And Jack on the gallows-tree! That's it, my bully-boy! Why, you're alive again now! And now let us talk about our business. 'YOUR business, if you please, said Hatteraick. 'Hagel and donner! mine was done when I got out of the bilboes.
I had no need to envy him now, having better work on hand than his, but even if the mood of the midday had been prevailing, it would have disappeared before his hearty greeting. "Noll, by gad, Noll," he cried, wringing my hand joyously.
