"The muneecipal linx." "Tell me, fellow, why do you talk that way?" "Whitway?" "Why, like that. The way you're talking." "Hoots, mon!" said the charioteer. "His Majesty King Merolchazzar may his handicap decrease! hae passit a law that a' his soobjects shall do it. Aiblins, 'tis the language spoken by The Pro, on whom be peace! Mphm!" Ascobaruch sat back limply, his head swimming.
I had, before now, seen thirty two pound shot thrown by them jump off a ship's side with a rebound like a football, when a shot from an eighteen pounder long gun went crash, at the same range, through both sides of the ship, whipping off a leg and arm, or aiblins a head or two, in its transit.
But my argiment is this: that I get at his soul best through his leetle carcase." The honest parson brought down his stick with an angry thud. "M'Adam, you're a brute a brute!" he shouted.

"Ay, and tyne his as weel!" he returned. "Tyne what's yer ain to tyne, wuman and that's no your sowl, nor yet Jamie's!
