I don't think of the public line, sir. And I've got my little savings pretty well put out, sir." "You do a little in the discounting way, eh, Morgan?"
Why? says you. Because, says I, you're a good lad, and I've took a fancy to see you in Parlyment. That's why. An' it's no return I'm askin' you, but just to believe!"

"Roun' de which?" "Harem." "What's de harem?"
