"That ain't all," continued Hardy, with a gloating chuckle. "Th' Old Man, 'e sez 'Belt's bein' invalided, McCullough's gettin' 'is third stripe, an' Dyvis is goin' dahn t' th' Corp'ril's Class at Regina, but that there young Redmond worries me! I don't know wot t' do abaht 'im, 'e sez jes' like that sorter kind-like not a bit like th' O.C. o' a Division torkin' t' a buck private.
"Well, you'll never get no more of it that's one thing," said Davis gravely. "'Ere, wot's wrong with you, Dyvis? Coppers 'ot? Well, look at me! I ain't grumpy," said Huish; "I'm as plyful as a canary-bird, I am." "Yes," said Davis, "you're playful; I own that; and you were playful last night, I believe, and a damned fine performance you made of it." "'Allo!" said Huish. "'Ow's this?
Drink besides, as it renders some men hyper-sensitive, made Huish callous. And it would almost have required a blow to make him quit his purpose. 'Pretty business, ain't it? he continued; 'Dyvis on the lush? Must say I thought you gave it 'im A1 today. He didn't like it a bit; took on hawful after you were gone. "'Ere," says I, "'old on, easy on the lush," I says.
Don't you, set up any of your chat to me, John Dyvis: I know you now, you ain't any more use than a bloomin' dawl! Oh, you "don't know", don't you? Oh, it "gets you", do it? Oh, I dessay! W'y, we en't you 'owling for fresh tins every blessed day? 'Ow often 'ave I 'eard you send the 'ole bloomin' dinner off and tell the man to chuck it in the swill tub? And breakfast?
'Well, you see, you're big, returned Huish; ''e knows you 'ave a gun in your pocket, and anybody can see with 'alf an eye that you ain't the man to 'esitate about usin' it. So it's no go with you, and never was; you're out of the runnin', Dyvis. But he won't be afryde of me, I'm such a little un! I'm unarmed no kid about that and I'll hold my 'ands up right enough. He paused.

You dror it mild, John Dyvis: don't 'andle me; I'm dyngerous." Davis sat like one bemused; it might even have been doubted if he heard, but the voice of the clerk rang about the cabin like that of a cormorant among the ledges of the cliff. "That will do, Huish," said Herrick. "O, so you tyke his part, do you? you stuck-up, sneerin' snob. Tyke it then. Come on, the pair of you.
'Gentlemen, said the captain, after a pause, and with very much the air of a chairman opening a board-meeting, 'we're sold. Huish broke out in laughter. 'Well, if this ain't the 'ighest old rig! he cried. 'And Dyvis, 'ere, who thought he had got up so bloomin' early in the mornin'! We've stolen a cargo of spring water! Oh, my crikey! and he squirmed with mirth.
