I make no manner of doubt you never were taken by a bailiff in your life. I never was. I have been in two or three debtors' prisons, but not on my own account. Goodness be praised!

How much do you give him a year for his skill?" "Come, my dear M. Tabaret," said the magistrate, as soon as he could get in a word, "be serious, if you can, and let us proceed in order."
If you can only manage to nab that moose-head, you'll get two hundred dollars for it at Greenville, sure! And mighty few cents I had jest then.
