It's a waste of a good hat, your Excellency that's what it is.
Why, when that there man was young don't look at him while I'm a-telling it he was shot in the leg; gashed in the arm; scored in his live limbs, like crimped fish; beaten out of shape; had his neck galled with an iron collar, and wore iron rings upon his wrists and ankles. The marks are on him to this day. When I was having my dinner just now, he stripped off his coat, and took away my appetite.

"It's kittens," says Hank, still setting down and staring at that there basket. All of which, you understand, I am a-telling you from hearsay, as the lawyers always asts you in court. Elmira, she sings out: "Kittens, nothing!
I've had nothing at all to drink, and you'd better let me go. The whole affair's a mistake." The procession halted, while the older policeman gazed fascinated at the official document. "Henry Leek," he read, deciphering the name. "He's been a-telling every one as he's Priam Farll," grumbled the younger policeman, looking over the other's shoulder.
