He wouldn't eat another mossel, but sat hunting 'igh and low for the other 'arf. "He 'adn't been in Claybury more than a week afore he said 'ow surprised 'e was to see 'ow pore dumb animals was treated.
"Yis; but de great consolation I has is dat de peepil I'm talkin' to don't onderstand me a mossel better nor myself; an', ob course, as noting in de wurl could show dem dey was wrong, it don't much matter." "That is good philosophy, at all events. Isn't it, Manuela?" asked Lawrence in Spanish.
