Well, I will say this for the dog, lazy as hes grown, that it is the first time I ever knew him to let any one come to the door after dark, without having a smell to know whether it was an honest man or not.
The men pulled with lusty sinews, and, in about half an hour, laid the boat alongside the pier at Birkenhead. "Holla!" exclaimed one of the boatmen, as their employer lifted a female into the boat, "is it a woman, Captain? this ought to be double pay, at least." "Hold your tongue, man," replied the Captain, "and pull away for the sloop: I'll steer, for I know where she lies."

"Holla, you sir! it's my turn to go in now. Biddy, wait, girls have no innings girls only fag out." "Bob, you cheat." "Pa, Ned says I cheat." "Very likely, my dear, you are to be a lawyer." "Where was I, my dear?" resumed Mrs. Hobbs, resettling herself, and readjusting the invaded petticoats.
