"Well, well," he said, thrusting both hands deep into bush trouser-pockets, according to custom when in a moralising frame of mind, "who'd a thought it, Gillie White, that you'd 'ave bin brought all the way from London to the Halps to make such a close shave o' committin' man-slaughter to say nothin' of mule-slaughter, and to git whacked by your best friend? Oh!
I wouldn't be surprised but whut a number of sech chances will be comin' your way durin' the next few days, and frum then on. Ef sech should be the case I would suggest to you that, before committin' yourself to anybody or anything, you tell 'em that I'm sort of actin' as your unofficial adviser in money matters, and that they should come to me and outline their little schemes in person.
"You better keep your mouth shut, young feller," said one of the men, "committin' burglary aint no joke." "That's right, that's right," said Gregory the Gauger, who was flitting about from one to the other of us, "an' whatever may be said against yer, may be used in yer favor, too, better remember that." The constable was still more indignant because the crowd nocked around us. "Clear outer here!
"I can tell you where, an' I can tell you when," replied Nelly; "but there I must stop for unless I was at the committin' of it, you might know very well I couldn't tell you how." "Where then?" she asked, and whilst she did so, it was by a considerable effort that she struggled to prevent her agitation from being noticed by the prophet's wife.
Sure, now, me conscience if I've got wan doesn't bother me oftin; an' if it did, on this occasion, I'd send it to the right-about double quick, for it's not offerin' ye five hundred pound I am to stop the coorse o' justice, but to save ye from committin' murther! Give Muster Brixton what punishment the coort likes for stailin' only don't hang him. That's all we ask."
Hiding his emotions with an effort, he again interrogated the affable carpenter: "And do you really think that Mr. Frump would have returned, and lived again with his wife, if he had become rich?" "To be sure he would. He couldn't marry anybody else, yer know, without committin' bigamy. He allers said he didn't care much whether his wife loved him, so long as she treated him civilly." "Mr.

I seem to see all them boys good boys, mind you, as far as they go only they don't travel more'n 'bout an inch lyin', an' slanderin', an' thievin', an' shootin', an' an' committin' every blamed sin ever invented since Pharo's daughter got busy makin' up fairy yarns 'bout them bulrushes "
His chest relaxed, and his head began to sink; then, with the most desperate effort in his life, he lifted it again, and, darting a rapid side glance at the men, hastened by. They could not understand the mixed defiance and supplication of his face; to them he only looked "queer." "Been committin' a murder, have you?" asked one of them, grinning.
Eh, laddie, but she was bonny to see!" "I aye thoucht her the bonniest leddy I ever set e'e upo'. An' dinna think, mem, I'm gaein to forget the deid, 'cause I'm mair concemt aboot the leevin'.
