"Blathers!" said Rooney, as they walked along in the direction of the lower part of the town, "you could resist the timptation aisy av you'd only try, for you're only beginnin', an' it hasn't got howld of 'ee yit. Look at your brother Ram, now; why don't 'ee take example by him?" "Yis, Ram-stam's first-chop boy," said Chok-foo, with a penitential expression on his fat visage.
Thurstane meant by talking about a stair carpet! It was just like him to joke on such a matter. I tell you I never can go up." "Av coorse ye can get up," broke in little Sweeny impatiently.

Oh, if I could only git howld of him, I wouldn't l'ave a piece of him big enough to spit on." "I think there's little probability of either of us obtaining a glimpse of him.

"Surely they're sendin' us a fire to warm us," observed one of the men, pointing to a boat which had put off from the Smeaton, and was approaching the rock by way of Macurich's Track.
