"He ain't," another retorted. "Yes, he is, ye blame fool." "He ain't." "Shet up ye'r jawin'," a third ordered. "Ye'r both drunk. Sure he's there. Wasn't he seen goin' into the house?" "Well, I'll be darned if I'm goin' to wait any longer," the first speaker whined. "I'm tired an' sleepy, an' want to go home. I wish to G that Ben would do his own dirty work."
"What's fetched y' daown here so all-fired airly?" "You're a darned pooty lot daown here, you be!" Abel answered.

Enraghty he said it was a miracle if he always knowed the best places to sleep, and the kindest women to ast for victuals. Do you believe it was, mother?" Nancy said, after an effort for her voice, "He might have been there before." "Well, that's so; but none of 'em thunk o' that. And what Mr. Enraghty said stopped the jawin' at the time.

Do you think you could fetch one down? "'Oh, it's a capital gun entirely, said he.
"Jawin' about the U boats!" said the Captain, with a jerk of his head towards the cabin door, "I don't know what the feelings of your men in the trenches are towards Fritz, Major, but I tell you that no German will dare set foot in any coast port of the United Kingdom in my life-time or yours, either!
