The purport of this piece of after-dinner eloquence was duly conveyed to Counsellor Webb, who fully appreciated the remarks about the popularity-hunting gentleman who was dirtying his hands.

He is not like one of those dainty young nobles, who don't know one rope's end from another, and who turn up their noses at the thought of dirtying their hands.

But she stayed some way behind her mother and sister, so that she might talk without being overheard by any one save her four-legged companion. 'Smuttie, she said, 'I'm very unhappy. This is only the second day at Seacove and I've vexed mamma already.
The young swell didn't seem to care about dirtying his trotter-cases; he kept slashing about with his cane, and staring at all the gals. What an ass that masher is!
