'What I can't understand is, who did the table belong to? said Harlow.
'It's no use booin' and threatenin', because 'e's one of them lecturers wot can honly be managed with kindness. If it 'adn't a bin for me, 'e wouldn't 'ave agreed to speak at all.

"I 'ope for your sakes it won't be the same police-man that you and Ginger Dick set on in Gun Alley the night afore you shipped on the Planet," ses Isaac, pursing up 'is lips. "'Tain't likely to be," ses Peter, beginning to wish 'e 'adn't been so free with 'is tongue. "Still, if I tell 'im, I dessay he'll soon find 'im," ses Isaac; "there's one coming along now, Peter; shall I stop 'im?"
An' I do 'ope, Mis' Deane, as now yer goin' off to 'and over old David's effecks to the party interested, ye'll come back safe, for the poor old dear 'adn't a penny to bless 'isself with, so the cinder must mean the journey, an' bein' warned, ye'll guard agin the coffin at the end."

"And will you believe me, when I got to the place where I'd left the 'orse and trap, they'd gone. Orf! When I saw that I 'adn't a cuss left for it. I jest danced on the grass, and when I'd danced enough I started off to London.... I was done." Mr. Brisher was pensive for an interval. "I was done," he repeated, very bitterly. "Well?" I said. "That's all," said Mr. Brisher. "You didn't go back?"
"Glass never says a word. 'E shoved aside an 'andkerchief which the sub-lootenant proffered 'im to bind 'is eyes with quiet an' collected; an' if we 'adn't been feelin' so very much as we did feel, his gestures would 'ave brought down the 'ouse." "I can't open my eyes, or I'll be sick," said the Marine with appalling clearness.
'Oh, yes, I would, rejoined Baltic, coolly; 'the notes would have hanged you in any case, and I would have got at them somehow. I suspected you all along. 'Wish y' 'adn't come to m' house, muttered Mosk, discontentedly. 'I was guided there by God to punish your sin. 'Yah! Stuff! Gimme that confession and I'll sign it.
"I should 'ave guessed you to be that if I 'adn't 'eard it, sonny," said the Sergeant dryly, the implied sarcasm provoking a subdued guffaw.

Besides, I want to give you the quid I promised you."
Then 'e says as 'ow I've been cheatin', so I says to 'im, polite like, as 'ow I 'adn't done no such thing, an' wi' that 'e ups an' 'its me in the eye, sir, which isn't fair." "He hit you in the eye?" asked Number One. "Yes, sir," said the sea-soldier, exhibiting a rapidly swelling cheek. "What have you to say?" the First Lieutenant asked the alleged assailant. "What he says isn't true, sir.
