"Ah, may well say that," replied the Corporal, exceedingly flattered with the permission he had obtained, "and any thing my poor wit can suggest, quite at your honour's sarvice ehem! hem! You must know by Lunnun, I means the world, and by the world means Lunnun, know one know t'other. But 'tis not them as affects to be most knowing as be so at bottom.
I bolted, and made my way good to Lunnun, but I should soon have been picked up and put on board the Tender again, if I hadn't got this wooden stump made, which I now carry in my hand. I had plenty of songs, and I commenced my profession, and a real good un it is, I can tell you.
"Yes, your home." "I dinna just ken. It used to be Ben Lone on the Duk' o Harewood's estate, when I waur a lass. Sin I hae been a guid wife I hae bided in Westminster Road, Lunnun." At the mention of Westminster Road, the Duke of Hereward started slightly, and bent forward to give closer attention to the words of the witness. "With whom did you live in Westminster Road?" proceeded the examiner.
Why there was Hal Whittol, eighty-two come next Michaelmas, took a trip to Lunnun last year "For young and old, the stout the poorly, The eye of God be on them surely." "Bother!" said the Corporal, turning round on his seat. "And what do you intend doing with the brindled cat? put'un up in the saddle-bags? You won't surely have the heart to leave'un."
I wish those Lunnun sparks would but leave the place: they do his honour no good, I'm thinking." "Not till two!" was the slow and mournful ejaculation. What a damper to her buoyant hopes: and Providence had seen fit to give her ill-success. Is it so? Prosperity may come in other shapes.
If she had she wasn't going to say so. She hadn't any children, and she didn't know what business he had to ask her. She came from Lunnun. At any rate, she came from there last, and she didn't know what business he had to ask her where she came from. What business was it of his to be asking what her name was? Her name was Anne Burrows, if he liked to call her so.
"Not to us who has gumption, Sir; but then there is summut in the manner of axing one can't be too hot can't flatter too much and, above all, one must never take a refusal. There, Sir, now if you takes my advice may break the peace of all the husbands in Lunnun bother whaugh!"
A Lunnun Bobby has his clothes cut after a pattern a hundred years old, and he always carries his gloves in his hand never wearing them because this was a habit of William the Conqueror. But never mind; he is intelligent, courteous and obliging, and I am perfectly willing that he should wear skirts like a ballet-dancer and a helmet too small, if it is his humor.
"Well, sir, as to habitations, what's these to a street in Lunnun? Begin on the starboard hand, for instance, as you walk down Cheapside, and count as you go; my life for it, you'll reel off more houses in half an hour's walk than are to be found in all that there village yonder. Then you'll remember, sir, that the starboard hand only has half, every Jack having his Jenny.
Ah, your honour, what a fine town that ere be! yet," added the Corporal, with an air of great superiority, "it gives you no notion of Lunnun, like on the faith of a man, no!" "Well, Bunting, perhaps we may be in London within a month hence."
