"Ah, how indeed!" said the squire, and he went away; but Dick stayed behind with Tom Tallington, and sat upon the top of the embankment, laughing, till the rough fen-man stood resting on his spade. "At yow, Dave," said Dick, imitating his broad speech. "Then it arn't manners, lad. Thowt you'd been to school up to town yonder to larn manners both on you?"
"Oh, it's you, is it?" said she gruffly, as she opened the door; "don't you think better break de door down at once-rapping as if you was guine to tear off de knocker is dat de way, gal, you comes to quality's houses?

For several minutes Huggins searched the tender for a comfortable spot for his unprotected body, but scratchy, knobby pieces of wood, with a foundation of sharp chunks of coal, was not conducive to rest. A bullet rattling against the engine added to his irritation, and he looked over the edge and fired his revolver petulantly. "That'll larn 'em I'm no blinkin' Irishman with a stick."
