"Molly spent the greater part of yesterday with me, Lionel." "She did? What for?" "Because I was in trouble, of more sorts than one; and her kind heart sent her in the first place. After she came I begged her to stay. I am already very fond of Molly; she is so gay and cheerful." Towsley's face became radiant. "Oh, jimmeny! Ain't that prime! Have you adopted her, too?"

We asked that Jimmeny girl from the pub. to join, and she delivered a great parable at us, looking round all the time to see if the boot-licking tone of it was pleasing the men. She said that women ought to bring up their children to respect them "

"I reckoned he wuz a gonter lay hans ontew him." "Ef he had, by jimmeny, I b'leeve Cap'n would a hit him a crack ez would a knocked him inter the middle o' nex week," said Meshech.

"Why, Obadiah's been tellin the biggest set o' lies about you I ever heard of. He's been tellin em all over town.
This so aroused my desire to be a boarder at Clay's that I straightway wrote a letter to its châtelaine inquiring what style of accommodation she provided, and could she accommodate me; and strolling up the broken street, while a few larrikins at corners, by way of entertaining themselves and me, made remarks upon my appearance, I dropped it in the post-office, but had to endure a week's inattention at Jimmeny's, and no end of yarns from outside folk I encountered as to how Mrs Jimmeny robbed the "swipes" who took their poison at her bar, before I was honoured by a reply from Mrs Clay.
