"Watch me," cried Swipes, turning a somersault. When he was in the most harrowing position, Brown gave him a swift kick. "Give him one for me, Shorts," whispered Spuddy, but Swipes was on his feet again, ready to listen.
I said. "No offal tripes swipes ullage." Mr. Pyecroft entered, in the costume of his calling, with the ham and an assortment of tin dishes, which he dealt out like cards.

Old Jolyon would speak quite openly of swipes, full tosses, half and three-quarter balls; and young Jolyon with the guileless snobbery of youth had trembled lest his sire should be overheard.
