'Oh yes, and what she's been a undergoing of, only this day, cried a great many voices. 'There's a good man, do. 'The presents that have been made to him, said Mr Kenwigs, reverting to his calamity, 'the pipes, the snuff-boxes a pair of india-rubber goloshes, that cost six-and-six

"It strikes me, Bland was never safer of a six-and-six in his life than he is of the one he lent to-night," said Mr Shanklin. "Unless I'm mistaken, the fellow would walk across England on his bare feet to pay it back."
"There's everything there but that little silver brooch you gave me, Joseph," she ses, "and I lost that the other evening when I was out with with for a walk." Joseph tried to speak, but couldn't.
