You give me seventy pound for the shay, and I'll 'oss it for you. I told you I didn't MAKE 'osses; but I CAN make 'em, to oblige a friend. What would you have? It was not the wisest thing in the world to buy a chaise within a dozen miles of my uncle's house; but in this way I got my horses for the next stage. And by any other it appeared that I should have to wait.
"There be, young man," was the laconic answer; "and rum things done." In this Sam agreed, informing Mr Sykes for this, he ascertained, was the coachman's name how he had lost his property. "Be thou the young man who stopped the 'osses?" inquired Sykes. "The young squires did it, and I helped 'em," said Sam. "And saved my bacon," observed Sykes.

"This is Tuesday, isn't it?" he asked abruptly; "This is the day Miss Vancourt has arranged to return?" "It is so, sir," replied Bainton; "and it's believed the arrangements 'olds good for change'er mind as a woman will, 'er 'osses an' groom's arrived and a dog as large as they make 'em, which 'is name is Plato."

I'm a sailorman, I am, and sailormen don't shave their faces and ride 'osses. That's why I arsked yer what yer thought of this 'ere war."
