What! make a joyful hanniversary of his wife's death, and fire off guns that the whole blooming country may know what a little beast it is. Sit ye down, Bob, there's a glass help yourself.

"And what sort of a hanniversary calls for gun firing?" said Bob, holding up the lantern to the tailor's face.
"Lor' bless yer, no, lydy," answered the old lady, quite unperturbed, "yesterday was the hanniversary of old Wattles's wedding-day, and they've been keepin' it up as usual. That's all."

But to say more 'ud only be a-wasting of breath. My lads, do your duty."
