I haven't forgot what you and your uncle said to me, and I'm tryin' to grow up 'spectable. I haven't been to Tony Pastor's, or the Old Bowery, for ever so long. I'd rather save up my money to support me in my old age.

There wus lots of news that I felt fairly sufferin' for, and lots of news that I felt like disseminatin' to her.
