"Them's the sentiments of a man, and I, as a woman having a right to speak where you are concerned, quite approve of them." "They'll get nothing but the truth out of John," said Mrs. Moulder; "not if he knows it."

Does it not occur to you that we should be very badly off without such men as Chaffanbrass and Aram?" "So we should without chimney-sweepers and scavengers."

On the whole Mr. Chaffanbrass is popular at the Old Bailey. Men congregate to hear him turn a witness inside out, and chuckle with an inward pleasure at the success of his cruelty. This Mr. Chaffanbrass knows, and, like an actor who is kept up to his high mark by the necessity of maintaining his character, he never allows himself to grow dull over his work. Therefore Mr.
