"If it's four o'clock, it is time to lock up," said Anthony, "and bang to go the doors, and there's the money for thieves to dream of they can't get a-nigh it, let them dream as they like. What's the hour, ma'am?" "Not three, it ain't," returned Mrs.
Being an amiable and unambitious soul, Ethan in fact regarded himself in the same light, and felt supported and indeed elevated by the fact that he stood in the shoes of a public character so universally popular and admired. "I ain't Tom, an' I cayn't never come a-nigh him," he said; "but I kin do my best not to cast no disgrace on his place, an' allus tradin' as fair as I know how.
He shan't come a-nigh you. I'll square him fast enough, if he shows up down this Court you see if I don't!" But when she reached it, there was still balm in Gilead. For was not Dolly there, so many fathoms deep in sleep that she might be kissed with impunity, long enough to bring a relieving force of tears to help the nightmare-haunted woman in her battle with the past?
'I'll tell you! cried Affery, unstopping her mouth. 'I dreamed it, first of all my dreams. Jeremiah, if you come a-nigh me now, I'll scream to be heard at St Paul's!
"I'll go to her at once," said he. "No, sir!" said Ryder, firmly. "Come with me. I want to speak to you." She took him to his bachelor's room, and stayed a few minutes to talk to him.

"You be wrong, Susan Peckaby," said Mrs. Duff, "It warn't the white cow at all; Dan warn't a-nigh the pound. He told Mr. Jan so." "Then what was it?" returned Susan Peckaby. One of the present auditors was Roy the bailiff. He had only recently pushed in, and had stood listening in silence, taking note of the various comments and opinions.
"I dun know, please, sir," sobbed Dan Duff; "that was what he said as he runned off to it. He asked me if I had seen any folks about, and I said I'd only seen that un in the lane." "Whom did you see in the lane?" "I dun know who it was, please, sir," returned Dan, sniffing greatly. "I wasn't a-nigh him." "But you must have been nigh him if you met him in the lane."
Tertius any more than what you told my friend here you'd told him?" "Not a word more, guv'nor! 'Cause why I ain't seen him since." "And you've told nothing to the police?" "The police ain't never come a-nigh me, and I ain't been near them. What the old chap said was wait! And I've waited and ain't heard nothing." "Wherefore," observed Triffitt sardonically, "you want to make a bit."
