"That, sir," he replied with a kind of haughty reserve, "is the portrait of her future ladyship, which his lordship keeps for his private heye." Miss Manners sniggered, and I said: "Oh, thank you. What an ill-omened kind of thing to do!"
I sent Alderson down to the spit to signal the Argos for a boat. One presently arrived with Stubbs and Higgins at the oars. The little cockney was struck with awe at sight of the dead man. "My heye, Mr. Sedgwick, 'e's got 'is at larst and none too soon. 'Ow did you do it?" "I didn't do it. One of his friends did." "Well, 'e 'ad it comin' to 'im, sir.
But lor' sir, she's wonderful like her ma when it comes to paying a bill, not but what they're to be respected for keeping a heye on the purse. I often tell Yeander that if we were a bit more saving, like the vicar's lady, we'd lay by a bit for our old age. 'Yes, Mrs. Yeander, yes; that would be an excellent plan, said the curate, fumbling with his latch-key in the door.
I'm told that she's a very nice old lady, when you know her." Dick laughed. "Why should she believe me?" "Because you're a gent, sir. Anybody could see that with half a heye. But, look here, sir, there " "Will you leave off saying `sir'? I am Dick Smithson." "Oh, very well, Dick Smithson. There must be a way out of the wood. What do you say to me killing him by accident?"
"I think his legs is shut off from the rest of his body by water-tight compartments," remarked Denyven, regarding Torrini's steady gait with mingled amusement and envy. "Are you hurt, sir?" "Only a bit of a scratch of the heye," replied Richard, with a laugh. "As I hobserved just now to Mr. Stevens, sir, there's a pair of us!"
I readily agreed, and we had walked some little distance when I heard footsteps running behind us; we stopped and turned. It was the country boy we had sent to the police. "I forgot to show you this yere sir," he said, opening his hand, in which he held something carefully clasped. "What is it?" I asked as he addressed me. "It's this yere heye, sir," he answered.
"A shadder as moved, although the leaves vos all dead still. "Good Lord!" exclaimed the fussy gentleman. "'Stand an' deliver! roars the masked man, so my feyther, cocking 'is heye at the pistols, pulls up, an' there 'e is, starin' down at the 'ighvayman, an' the 'ighvayman staring up at 'im.

Soon more than one red-headed Jew had learned, in self-defense, to take out the stick which held up one end of his cart, and move along, at sight of her. Too often she had been the symbol of financial loss. Her "Hi sye!" and "My heye!" became the keen delight of German maidens back of counters over which cheap delicatessen was distributed. Beyond a doubt M'riar was in her element.
There's the donkey and the barrow, and everybody knowing it as well as they know me. I'll send you to my man in Covent Garden. He's a fair 'un. He don't cheat. He'll do well by you, an' you shall drive the barrow and see what you make of it. We'll be partners, Nan. You look out for me a bit, an' I'll teach you the business and 'ave an heye to Johnny.
