Martha paused, regarding him and his question with due concern. "Tell?" "Are y-you going to t-tell on me, t-to ev-everybody? Are y-you going to t-tell S-Sammy?" "Shoor I'm not! I'm a perfect lady! I always keep such little affairs with my gen'lemen friends strickly confidential. Besides Sammy has troubles of his own."
She is not always civil, but you can trust her; she is seldom polite, but she never says what is not true." "You talk as though 'e ded'n much like ladies an' gen'lemen, same as you be."

TAMMAS is on his feet in the tap-room of the Arms, brandishing a pewter mug. "Gen'lemen!" he cries, his old face flushed; "I gie you a toast.

Crouch marched off, evidently astonished at finding himself at liberty to depart. When he reached the gate, he turned, and touched his cap. "Morning, gen'lemen," he said, and so disappeared. Valentine laughed, and regarded his cousin with a queer look in his face.
