But thou knows how afeered I am that they'll nivver come together again, and so and so, just only for the moment, my thoughts had gone away from thee.

I'm well-known ez a secret-sarvice man tu well-known, I'm afeered. I could git 'long 'ithout quite ez menny 'quaintances ez I hev gethered up lately.
