He's only got to run in one of the houses where's he known an' you might as well try to foller a fox as has darted into a drain.

"Let me ken, Andrew," broke in Matthew. "Let me ken if ever ye discover onything; an' ye can count on me sharin' the penalties o' hell alang wi' ye for the murder o' the big black brute."

You look after yer own farver an' don' pass remarks on yer betters. Why! You boozin' waster, I shall be Regimental Sargen' Majer when you're a bloomin' discharged private wiv an 'undred 'drunks' in red on yer Defaulter's Sheet.
'He's boozin' again, someone whispered. 'He's got a touch of 'em. 'My oath, he's ratty! said someone else. One of the traps said: "'Arder in the car-rt!
