'tis well to be contented with one's lot," said the old man, "but I don't know how I would be now without a sight of the docks and the shipping, and a yarn with my old comrades on the waterside sometimes, but I am going to try it, whatever. Marged is grumbling shockin' because I don't stop at home in our little cottage.
'Shockin' behayviour! 'Aw, very shockin' indeed! was the words I heerd flyin' about, an' 'Who'll make en sensible o't? an' 'We'll give en what-for.

"You was proverbial, crowder, I can duly vow, an' to that effect, unless my mem'ry misgives me."
We're having a kind of triumphant procession; with these people to feel is to express. We catch some of their remarks: "'Oo! Look at 'is poor leg!" "My, but ain't 'e done in shockin'!" Dear old London so kind, so brave, so frankly human! You're just like the chaps at the Front you laugh when you suffer and give when you're starving; you never know when not to be generous.
Men is shockin' scallawags," she finished up, flinging the shoes pell-mell into the open trunk. A further rescue of her property was necessary and the girl protested. "Please don't bother any more with those clothes," she cried hurriedly. "I'll see to them myself."

No, that I'll swear we didn't," said Stalky, with a relieved heart, for he loved not to tell lies. "What a low mind you've got, Pussy! We've been down having a bath. Did Rabbits-Eggs rock King? Strong, perseverin' man King? Shockin'!" "Awf'ly.
