So, since you mention it, and speak without an introduction, excuse me if I suggest, against the next act, that this young lady has never been at a play before in her life in Lon'on, at least.

"Yes, we think Harry is a very nice boy," returned Mrs. Bradley, with a fond glance at the youth. "Wot djer si about me, mar?" asked Harry. "Nothing, dear," replied Mrs. Bradley, raising her eyebrows reprovingly. "Yes, yer did, too," retorted Harry. "Yer said as 'ow hi were a good boy." "Well, 'e i'n't, then," interjected Jennie.

Then a yell rang through the hut; Moses displayed all, and more than all his teeth, and the professor, springing up on one elbow, glared fearfully. "I'n't it awrful?" inquired Moses in a low tone. The professor awoke mentally, recognised the situation, smiled an imbecile smile, and sank back again on his pillow with a sigh of relief.
So I says, says I, my Lord, says I, if your Lordship i'n't engaged particularly, my father is a silversmith, and he'll be very proud to serve you, says I; and Miss Anville, as danced with you, is his cousin, and she's my cousin too, and she'd be very much obligated to you, I'm sure."
