"Seems to me," said Mr. Davies deferentially, "like as if I heard some one a-firing off at intervals, so to say." There was beyond doubt a dull mutter in the air. "Seems to me," said Bai-Jove-Judson, "as if I heard a screw. Stand by to slip her moorings."
"Amazing phase of human life!" observed Mrs Tipps, gazing in admiration at the stalwart giant who stood deferentially before her. "Well, it was a raither coorious kind o' proposal," said Marrot with a smile, "but it worked uncommon well. I've never wanted to uncouple since then."
"My mistress?" he asked of August, the head waiter. "Has she been properly served?
