You don't mean to say you have had a fortune left you?" "I do! Will you give a message to James?" "I'll do anything for a lady with a fortune." "Tell him to come and drink tea with his old sweetheart tomorrow, at six o'clock."
Peter Russet found out all about it next day, and told Sam that it was a barmaid with black 'air and eyes at the Jolly Pilots, and that she wouldn't 'ave anything to say to Ginger.
