Some old clothes that had belonged to the Count's sister, were produced. Babette thought them very fine, and seemed quite pleased, she stroked the old nurse's cheek, chucked her under the chin, and sprang up and down violently on her knee, "nearly cracking my old bones," as nurse related afterwards.

Then I chucked the pot o' w'ite paint hover 'im, an' kicked 'im down the bloody stairs. 'Serve 'im blooming well right, too, said Crass as he took a fresh glass of beer from one of the others, who had just 'stood' another round. 'What did the b r say to that? inquired the tall man.
Ah chucked cabbages all night at the market. They give ye a job there without askin' no questions." "Have a cigarette."
