Speak, sir, speak!" and she folded her arms quite fierce, and looked like Mrs. Siddums in the Tragic Mews. "I came here, Mrs. Shum," said he, "because I loved your daughter, or I never would have condescended to live in such a beggarly hole. I have treated her in every respect like a genlmn, and she is as innocent now, ma'm, as she was when she was born.
De danger won't be so much, and de work will be done up right, sartin. So, atween genlmn, de business is settle."
After this speach, the old genlmn sunk down on the sofa, and puffed as much smoke out of his mouth as if he'd been the chimley of a steam-injian. I was pleased, I confess, with the sean, and liked to see this venrabble and virtuous old man a-nocking his son about the hed; just as Deuceace had done with Mr. Richard Blewitt, as I've before shown.

"Five-and-forty," says Blewitt, "and no mistake!" "I will give you a cheque," says the honrabble genlmn. "Oh! don't mention it, my dear sir!" But master got a grate sheet of paper, and drew him a check on Messeers. Pump, Algit and Co., his bankers. "Now," says master, "I've got to settle with you, my dear Mr. Dawkins.

Beside, dis old soger don't want no bread he don't arn." "Well, I'll make a bargain with you, that if we don't catch Holden, you shan't have anything. That horse is soon curried." "Ah, dat won't do. My time is precious, and de hire is wordy ob de laborer.
But who was this genlmn with a fine name Mr. Frederic Altamont? or what was he? The most mysterus genlmn that ever I knew.
