Stokes, who was by no means a favorite of the lady in question, nodded. "You were a bit larky, too," he said thoughtfully.

He used to take a room when he was ashore and live very steady, as 'e was saving up to get married, and as soon as he found that out George invited 'imself to stay with him. "It won't cost you a bit more," he ses, "not if you work it properly." Bob didn't work it properly, but George having saved his life, and never letting 'im forget it, he didn't like to tell him so.
The cabman tried to tell 'im, but just then a policeman came walking up to see wot was the matter, and 'e got on the box agin and drove off. Cabmen love policemen just about as much as cats love dogs, and he drove down two streets afore he stopped and got down agin to finish 'is remarks. "Not so much talk, cabman," ses Sam, who was beginning to enjoy 'imself, "else I shall call the police."
And then, when the lick of paint was nearly dry on the perambulator and all their shirts and socks were washed and mended, and lying on the kitchen window-ledge ready for packing, what did Mr. Beale do but go out one morning and come back with a perfectly strange dachshund.

He went up and down two or three times, and I never saw anything so ridikerlous in my life. "That's all very well for us," he ses; "but wot about other people? That's wot I want to know.
He didn't do more that night because she told him to be'ave 'imself, and threatened to scream if he didn't leave off. He was arf-way home afore 'e thought of the reason for Ginger Dick and Peter Russet giving up, and then he went along smiling to 'imself to such an extent that people thought 'e was mad.
"Miss Marian 'asn't returned as yet from the ball," he whispered. "'E 'e's not quite 'imself, sir. 'E's 'ad a bit of a shock, as one might s'y. I'd go easy on 'im, if you'll take a word from me." But P. Sybarite traversed his advice without an instant's consideration. "Brian Shaynon," he called, "you lie!

"I tried'em: thirty-seven was empty, and a pasty-faced chap at forty-seven nearly made 'imself ill over the name of 'Kiddem. It 'adn't struck me before, but it's a hard matter to deceive me, and all in a flash it come over me that I 'ad been done agin, and that the gal was as bad as 'er brother. "I was so done up I could 'ardly crawl back, and my 'ead was all in a maze.
