"We'll have several drinks, and we'll eat and drink tonight at the 'swell joint' you talk about," said Anguish. "We may drink dere, but I'll not eat dere.

What was they?" "Gent'men in business, people with money leastways we thought it was money till everything smashed up, and then seemingly it was jes' paper all sorts.

And since when have you seen any paymaster ridin' down the pike with his bags full of bills, not that you can use that paper stuff for anythin' like shoppin', anyway!"
