"What do you want to know?" he asked, at last. "When did Jimmy Brunell turn his last trick?" "Years ago; I've forgotten how many.

I told ye it was a sciencrific dolusion; though, I'm bound for to confess, I never heerd o' von o' them critters speakin', no more than the ghosts. Howsomedever, that's wot it is." Corrie, who still hesitated, and held himself in readiness to bolt at a moment's notice, suddenly cried: "Why! I do believe it's No; it can't be yes I say, it's Poopy."
