"It's always been a happiness and a pleasure, mom, and I've come a good many times with news, sad and joyful, to your door.

I ain't goin' to be drew into no blindman's grab-bag little game, not on your sweet life. I ain'ter goin' to risk havin' you hate me all the rest o' your nacherl life becoz, to be obligin' an' also to show what a smart boy am I, I give a verdick without all the everdence in. If you wanter tell me plain out what's frettin' you, I'll do my best accordin' to my lights, but otherwise "
"Whoy, we'll take it kindly of ye if you'll just be so obligin' as to shtep aboard the barque, and say what we want ye to say," answered the fellow. "But, mind," he added warningly, "don't ye attimpt to say annything else, or by the Piper it'll be the worse for ye and for the young woman down below.

And as to 'er taste, why there, if you 'ad seen 'er turn up 'er nose at the Stilton at lunch. 'Turn up 'er nose, did she? Well, she seemed to me a very soft- spoken, obligin' young lady.
