"I warn't a going to lay these before the underwriters till you had overhauled them. There, take another drop now 'twill do you good while I draw up this thundering blind."
He is grave enough to suit you. He does not laugh very easily, I fancy." "After my heart? Stoops like a bow!" "Indeed he does look on the ground as he walks; when I think, I do the same. But what a marvellous man it is! I hear, that he reads the Psalms in Hebrew. He's very affable and meek-like for such a scholard." "Tell you what. Seen the world, Master Dealtry, and know a thing or two.
"What the hell does he mean?" he asked, appealing to the company. "Damn my bones if I know," answered the host. "I've 'eerd parson say sommat like it in church a Sundays. He's one of these 'ere silly scholards." "They do say as how Swift Nicks is a scholard," put in the ostler wisely. "There's no time for chattering," said I. "Take me at once before a justice.

"Do you know how wide the Channel is `hereabouts, as you say?" "No, Master Bob," said the other lad humbly. "I doesn't. I ain't no scholard, as you knows." "Then, I'll tell you," rejoined Bob triumphantly. "It must be nearly a hundred miles wide here between the French and English coasts!" Dick, however, was not abashed by this broad statement.
