"But but I see you drownd yourself before my very eyes!" "No, you did not, or I shouldn't be standing here now!" "But but oh, lor'!" groaned Jerry, with his voice growing faint and piteous, "is is it really you S'Rich ?" "Silence! I'm Dick Smithson, now!" cried the young man fiercely. "But you was S'Richard," groaned Jerry, "before you come to life again!" "What nonsense are you talking now?"
"You are getting better, Dick Smithson, and no mistake," he said; "but you can drink the stuff, for you won't have to throw it at me, because shampooing ain't no good for a bit o' gambling whether it's horse-racing or cards."

"Jerry!" exclaimed Dick, wonderingly. "Me it is, S'Rich Dick Smithson," cried the man, cheerily. "For goodness' sake, mind what you are saying." "I will, sir I will, Dick but it is so hard to break off your old habits." "And give me that brush. You must not go on like this." "Why not?" cried Jerry; "I often do jobs for my mates. There's no rules again' that.
