For an hour the unhandy pen toiled over the paper, and where sentiment rose to more than normal tide-level, Bobby Wick stuck out his tongue and breathed heavily. He was not used to letter-writing. "Beg y' pardon, sir," said a voice at the tent door; "but Dormer's 'orrid bad, sir, an' they've taken him orf, sir."
"It ain't so 'orrid as I 'ad fancied," ses Sam, lap-ping up the rest very gentle. "'Ave you 'ad enough to do you all the good it ought to?" Mr. Goodman said that it was no good 'arf doing a thing, and p'r'aps he 'ad better 'ave one more; and arter Sam 'ad paid for the next two they went out arm-in-arm. "'Ow cheerful everybody looks!" ses Mr. Good-man, smiling.
Private Dormer was certainly "'orrid bad." He had all but reached the stage of collapse, and was not pleasant to look upon. "What's this, Dormer?" said Bobby, bending over the man. "You're not going out this time. You've got to come fishing with me once or twice more yet."
When I start on a man I like to make a good job of it." "Good job of it!" ses the other, starting. "Do you know who I am?" "No, I don't," ses Ginger, "and, wot's more, I don't care." "My name," ses the chap, speaking in a slow, careful voice, "is Bill Lumm." "Wot a 'orrid name!" ses Ginger.

They had just been convicted afresh of smoking, which is bad for little boys who use plug-tobacco, and Lew's contention was that Jakin had "stunk so 'orrid bad from keepin' the pipe in pocket," that he and he alone was responsible for the birching they were both tingling under. "I tell you I 'id the pipe back o' barricks," said Jakin, pacifically. "You're a bloomin' liar," said Lew, without heat.
Won't give no name, sir, won't go away, sir. A very 'orrid person in gaiters, sir." "What does he want?" said Barnabas, with head still bent. "Says as 'ow 'e 'as a letter for you, sir, but " Barnabas was on his feet so quickly that the Gentleman-in-Powder recoiled in alarm. "Show him up at once!" "Oh! cer-tainly, sir!"
"Why, what's the matter, Mrs Miff?" "Oh, sir! that 'orrid little dog as you brought 'as gone mad!" "Is that the blessing you refer to, Mrs Miff?" "No, sir; but your comin' back is, for the creetur 'as bin rampagin' round the room, an yellin' like a thing possessed by demons. I'm so glad you've come!"
"And then my lady screeches out again and says to him she says: "'Have mercy! I am innocent, Heverard! Oh, for God's sake, do not murder me! "And Sir Heverard, he says, fierce and 'orrid: "'Wretch, die! You are not fit to pollute the hearth! Go to your grave with my 'ate and my cuss!

"Wot a 'orrid place it is!" exclaimed Bumpus, in a hoarse angry whisper, as he struck his shins violently, for at least the tenth time, against a ledge of rock

After I gave 'im up I walked out with a young fellow named Smith; fine, big, strapping chap 'e was, too, and I never saw such a change in any man as there was in 'im after Bill 'ad done with 'im. I couldn't believe it was 'im. I told Bill he ought to be ashamed of 'imself." "Wot did 'e say?" asks Ginger.
