"Just listen to that old codfish," said Tommy Bogey to Peekins, "takin' credit to his-self for not drinkin', though he smokes like a steam-tug, an' chews like like I'm a Dutchman if I know what, unless it be like the bo'sun of a seventy-four gun ship."

Just lift that little boy off the tall stool in the back-office, and tell him to come in here, will you, my man? said Squeers, addressing himself to Newman. 'Oh, he's lifted his-self off. My son, sir, little Wackford. What do you think of him, sir, for a specimen of the Dotheboys Hall feeding?
"Damme, Will, you're a praetty sort of a broather to give me the slip in that way. But in this world every man for his-self!"
