If a servant gives you an evening paper, he says, "'Ere's your paiper, don't you know," and if a man should I don't say they would, but if a man should give you a civil answer, when you asked him the name of a street, he would look at you as though you were a cannibal, and say, "Regent street, don't you know," and then he would act as though you had broken him of his rest.
