"I don't keer for nothing but a hegg and a happle, myself," said Bob. "May be you folks would heat the hother things. There's a good lot of happles."
'Oh, if it's MOTHS, said the man, 'that's easy cured with borax. But I expect it was only an odd one. I tell you the carpet's good through and through. It hadn't got no moths when it left my 'ands not so much as an hegg. 'But that's just it, interrupted Jane; 'there WAS so much as an egg. The man made a sort of rush at the children and stamped his foot.
For the want of something else to amuse his mind, it was turned to the small cannon he was carrying in his hand. "This 'ere thing," thought he, "ain't o' much use as a pistol, though it might be used as a war-club at close quarters. I hope I shan't 'ave to fire it hoff.

There's the solicitors on the ground floor and the architects on the first floor. They both clear out about six, and when they're gone the house is as empty as a blown hegg. I don't wonder poor Mr.
Zook, come here. Not a word about all this in the lodging-house; stay, now I think of it, don't go to the lodging-house at all. Go to a casual ward where they'll make you take a good bath. Be sure you give yourself a good scrub. D'ye hear?" "Yes, sir." He walked away murmuring, "More 'am and hegg an' buttered toast to-night! Zook, you're in luck to-day in clover, my boy! in clover!"
I was inclined to smile when he said, "Might be hegg belonga scrub hen sit down!"
