She was to think, and take time, and answer without being frightened. "Miss Algernon! Lor! that was her as come here most days, along o' him," with a backward nod at Dick.

I'm not kept awake o' nights by the fear of losing you, Timothy. Your serviceable old carcass'll hang together for a good while yet."
