Kitey Graves, who I have known and loved ever since he was the height of sixpennorth of coppers" a loud laugh followed this allusion, seeing that eighteenpenny-worth would almost measure out the speaker. On giving another "hem," and again pulling up his gills, an old Kentish farmer, in a brown coat and mahogany-coloured tops, holloaed out, "I say, sir! I'm afear'd you'll be catching cold!"
"Van Dorn told me to come," Owen Daw cried. "I'm big enough to buck a nigger." "I love him better than I ever loved A male," said Sorden, apologetically. "Who is t'other young offender?"
