"No Burgundy, sir?" "No, my lord; there is no Burgundy on board." "No Burgundy, sir! do you dare to tell me that?" "Upon my soul, my lord," cried Maddox, dropping on his knees, "there is no Burgundy on board ask the ladies." "Very well, sir; you may go." "Cook, what have you got for dinner?" "Sir, a haunch of mutt of venison, my lord," replied the cook, with his white night-cap in his hand.
Dey don't know enough to go upstairs to take de Elevated. Beat it, you mutt," he observed with moody displeasure to the wop kid, accompanying the words with a gesture which conveyed its own meaning. The wop kid, plainly glad to get away, slipped out of the door like a shadow. Pugsy shrugged his shoulders. "Gents," he said resignedly, "it's up to youse."
"This," went on William, in a more serious tone, "this, Sally, is the chap I used to think was a mutt honest until I woke up one day and found that I was it.
