She'll see I don't break barracks or do what I hadn't ought to.
"You'll be brother Jarge's girl! Lor, to think o' little Jarge having a girl!" He chuckled hoarsely to himself, and the long, stringy sinews of his throat jerked and quivered. "I am the daughter of your brother George's son," said she, as she turned the bacon. "Lor, but little Jarge was a rare un!" he continued. "Eh, by Jimini, there was no chousing Jarge.
