This secured the window crowds intact, and now Jordan turned to the congregation within. "An' now, dear beloved." He lowered his voice. "For sech as I done specified, let us pray!"
It's the best thing for her;" and the policeman, much relieved, returned to his beat. "Some of you'll have to pay for them winders," said the cabman. "All right," answered Potts, quietly. "There is your home for to-night, at any rate," said Potts, pointing to the house. "I don't think you have any chance left. You had better go in." His tone was one full of bitter taunt.
People must 'ave 'ad more money to spend in those days, you know; all those massive curtain cornishes over the drawing- and dining-room winders gilded solid!

Had she been present this morning, she had taken the starch out of all our fine talk and fine manners. We should have chattered like the swallows about pleasant homely things; and left title-making to graver fools."
While this was going on I offered to bet him fifty or a hundred dollars more that I would make him squeal. He said he had no more money to put up. We stripped off and got in the place prepared for us. He struck at me with one of those old-fashioned Dutch winders. I ducked my head, and he hit that.

There was Dairyman Dodman waiten in his new spring-cart to see 'em come out whip in hand that 'a was. Then up comes two master tailors. Then there was Christopher Runt wi' his pickaxe and shovel.
