'Just im-possible nonsense, Ma, returned Lavvy, 'and George Sampson knows it is, as well as I do. Mrs Wilfer suddenly becoming petrified, fixed her indignant eyes upon the wretched George: who, divided between the support due from him to his love, and the support due from him to his love's mamma, supported nobody, not even himself.
"Dewey, Sampson & Schley!" jeered Don Melville, in a low tone, yet loud enough to be heard by Jack's party. Yet the boys paid no heed, but would have passed in silence, had not Don added, insultingly: "The three little muckers!" That was too much for Eph.

"Miss Sampson, how can you say that?" he returned. "I believed what my father and George Wright said about you that bloody, despicable record! Now I do not believe. I see I wronged you."
