"Ye're humbuggin' us," said Mackenzie. "What's the use?" "I'm doing nothing of the sort," laughed Raffles. "I'm testing you. Where's the harm?"

In the meantime, you bog-trotting oracle, say whether you are humbugging me or not."

We want the mitts, an' comforters, an' helmets, but we don't want their humbuggin' religion." "Shame, Dick!" said David Duffy, as he wound a comforter round his thick neck. "You shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. We're bound to take the things as they've been sent to us, an' say `Thank 'ee."

If you like me, you like me; and if you don't like me, you don't. There's only two ways about it.

And in a few words, spoken with a great deal of feeling and rough eloquence, he had told all, how Miss Vancourt had gone away 'suddint-like' from the Manor, and how it was said and reported all through the county and neighbourhood that she had gone because her engaged husband, Lord Roxmouth, had caught her 'makin' love' to a parson, that parson being no other than St.
