Why, I am proud to say that three-halfpence out of the threepence a week of almost all the young gentlemen at Dr. Swishtail's, came into my pocket. Suppose, for instance, Tom Hicks wanted a slice of gingerbread, who had the money? Little Bob Stubbs, to be sure. "Hicks," I used to say, "I'LL buy you three halfp'orth of gingerbread, if you'll give me threepence next Saturday."
It has been overdone, Val, considerably overdone; and I shouldn't wonder if a sober little brown fly a shabby old chap in a rusty greatcoat, with a cotton umbrella under his arm wouldn't do the trick better. That sort of thing would look rich, you see, Val rich and eccentric; and I think on occasions with a very downy bird I'd even go so far as a halfp'orth of snuff in a screw of paper.
