What do you mean?" "She were there one minnit, Sir, as plain as me 'att, an' ther next, she'd gone." "That's a damn silly yarn to tell me!" the Second replied. "You don't expect me to believe it, do you?" "It's Gospel trewth any'ow, Sir," Jaskett answered. "An' Jessop seen it just ther same." He seemed to have added that last part as an afterthought.
"They say it 'olds a gallon and 'ad to be specially made for 'im." "Very 'ealthy child any'ow," the forward passenger would conclude. When Mrs. Redwood realized that his growth was indeed going on indefinitely and logically and this she really did for the first time when the motor-perambulator arrived she gave way to a passion of grief.
I saw free pig-stealers 'ung before I was six," said Teddy. "Father took me because of my birfday being near. Said I ought to be blooded...." "Well, you never saw no-one killed by a moty car, any'ow," said old Tom after a moment of chagrin. "And you never saw no dead men carried into a chemis' shop." Teddy's momentary triumph faded. "No," he said, "I 'aven't." "Nor won't. Nor won't.
But don't go imaginin' you've learned all there is ter know about farmin' yet." "If there's one thing I'm certain of, it's that," said Bob a trifle grimly. "That's right. I ain't got much of a farm, an' any'ow, it's winter. I on'y showed yous a few of the odd jobs an' wot it is to 'ave to batch fer yerself, not comin' in like a lord to Billabong ter see wot Mrs. Brown's been cookin' for yous.
Magnolia blubbered away. "I 'ate to 'ear of anybody dyin'," she said. "I never been in a 'ouse before where it's 'appened, an' besides she's been good to me!" Her mind wandered off at a tangent "Any'ow," she said, wiping her eyes, "I done me best. No one can't never say I ain't done me best, an' the best can't do no more!" "Has she got any friends, Magnolia?..."
Again Harry raised his pick and swung it with force. Fairchild joined him. A moment more and they were staring at a hole which led to darkness, and there was joy in Harry's voice as he made a momentary survey. "It's fairly dry be'ind there," he announced. "Otherwise we 'd have been scrambling around in water up to our necks. We 're lucky there, any'ow."
It don't much matter, any'ow. We got to starve 'ere an' die, an' the sooner the better." She walked across the beach to a smooth slab of rock and seated herself sullenly, with her eyes on the distant mainland. They were misty with tears of anger, of despair. But he could not see them, for she had resolutely turned her back on him.
"Did you?" asked Bob and chuckled in his turn. "Well, I didn't see no points in spoon-feedin' you. If a man's goin' on the land he may as well know wot 'e's likely to strike. There's lots'll tell you you won't strike anythink 'arder than ol' Joe an' p'raps you won't," he added. "Any'ow, yous asked fer work, an' it was up ter me ter see that yous got it.
"You get the car run into cover, and keep an eye on 'er till that there Pluck-'em-W'ile-yer-Wait comes a sorrowing arter 'er. Tell 'im my address is No. 5, John Street, London, and I'll settle for the bit o' damage. There's no need to bring 'is young lordship in. There's plenty o' wailin' an' gnashin' comin' to 'im, any'ow."

"Previous service not reckoned towards pension," said Pyecroft. "We are doin' you lavish, Robert." "But when's this silly game to finish, any'ow?" our guest snarled. "Don't worry about the when of it, Robert.
