It is doubtful if this draggled Dick Turpin, lying in Bridewell, appreciated Birkenbog's humour quite so much as did Cochrane and Blethering Jock when he told them the story afterwards. If I had any common-sense I might have seen that Birkenbog was not a safe man to trouble in the matter of an only daughter, without the most serious intentions in the world.
After all, his daughter's future was only an item in Birkenbog's programme of the day. Now you can go and tell Lottie. Aye, and ye can say to Miss what's her name Thimbolina, the old dowager with the corkscrews with my compliments, that there's a sweet-milk cheese ripening on the dairy shelves for her at Birkenbog. Hear ye that, lad?" I took my leave as best I could.
