"And I footed it there, and that's sixteen. And I paid one-and-sixpence for beer and grub; s'help me I did." "Dan!" said a voice from the bed, rebuking him for the impropriety of his language. "Well; I beg pardon, but I did. And they guv' me two bob; just two plain shillings, by " "Dan!" "And I'd 've arned three-and-six here at brickmaking easy; that's what I wuld.
Is it the same promise as before?" Black related the incidents of his abduction. He raised his right hand with a dramatic gesture as he concluded: "As I have been a liar, this is gospel truth, s'help me. Whoever killed that jumper and I figure Shackleby knows it wasn't me.
"What did I say?" She turned away to hide a tear. He threw his arms around her neck and drew her lips down to his. "Ah, don't worry, Kiddo I'll do better next time. Honest to God, I will. That's enough for today. Just let's love now. T'ell with the rest." She smiled in answer. "You promise to try honestly?" He raised his hand in solemn vow. "S'help me!"
She lifted the heavy, tattered Bible from the chimney-piece, and placed it before him on the table. He laid his lumpish fist on it. 'Say, she continued with a tense tremulousness, 'say, I swear t' ye, mother, that 't is t' truth, t' whole truth, and noat but t' truth, s'help me God.

I knew you were a great man, but I had no idea you were such a good one." "Crawley," said the other, with a sudden gloomy misgiving, "I am trying to cheat the devil. I fear no man can do that;" and he hung his head.
"S'help me, guv'ner, the wind's goin' through my teeth like I was a mouth organ, and I'm hollow enough for a flute!" It is strange how, in moments of stress and trial, even in times of tragedy, the most commonplace thoughts will intrude themselves and the mind separate itself from the immediate events.
"You haven't got much heart," said Van Bibber, finally. "You're a pretty poor sort of a burglar, I should say." "What's the use?" said the man, fiercely. "I won't go back I won't go back there alive. I've served my time forever in that hole. If I have to go back again s'help me if I don't do for a keeper and die for it. But I won't serve there no more."

He did not recognize the sound of his voice when he turned on Banule: "S'help me, I'm goin' to break every bone in your body if you don't cut out that 'good enough'! How many hundred times have I got to tell you that nothing's good enough on this plant until it's right?"
As he looked at the sturdy build and rustic health of the peasants, which even their long confinement had been unable to break down, his eyes glistened, and he rubbed his big red hands together with delight. 'Show them down, Jem! he kept shouting to the mate. 'Stow them safe, Jem! There's lodgings for a duchess down there, s'help me, there's lodgings for a duchess! Pack 'em away!
I tried to tell you that I would unlock the door, but you refused to listen. Will you let me pass?" He obeyed in silence. "Well, s'help me!" muttered a sailor, "talk about suffrigettes!
