He saw the cook start at the mention of that name, as he muttered: "Butch Lasher a-comin' up hyer then them fellers must aben some o' his pals."
Here's to Gentleman George, God bless him! 'Mong the pals of the prince I have heard it's the go, Before they have tippled enough, To smarten their punch with the best curagoa, More conish to render the stuff. I boast not such lush; but whoever his glass Does not like, I'll be hanged if I press him! Upstanding, my kiddies, round, round let it pass! Here's to Gentleman George, God bless him!
You will kill yourself speaking in this cold air." "Well," he answered, "there are plenty of our boys who are perfectly sound who will be killed inside of three months.

Everybody knows that me and Brunell was pals in the old days, but no one's got nothin' on us now, and he give up the game years ago."

Baring received this information soberly with only the most deferential murmurs of pleasure or dismay at the successes or failures of the old comrades.
Lily shook her head with a charming semblance of regret. "I wish I could but it's quite impossible. My aunt has come back to town, and I must be with her for the next few days." "Well, I've seen a good deal less of you since we've got to be such pals than I used to when you were Judy's friend," he continued with unconscious penetration. "When I was Judy's friend? Am I not her friend still?
"But I always play the game alone; I never had any use for pals. They get in the way." "Wrong, my boy; wrong! A good partner like me is essential to the successful prosecution of the art or craft felonious. As for myself I rarely venture to expose myself in these little affairs; but I advise and counsel the brethren.
"To say nothing of my own account against Dan Levy! I'm spoiling for another round with that sportsman, Bunny, for its own sake quite apart from these poor pals of mine."
