"Whin he knows th' jig's up that's if he is in he may act like a man av sinse, an' agree tu come peaceable but " and Slavin shook his head slowly "if he refuses . . . fwhy? . . .

After I'd been in a little time I saw a sponge-cake on the table, and when I tried it, what d'ye think I found? It was as full inside of brandy-an'-sherry as it could be. All it could do to shtand! I saw d'rectly it washn't in condition come to table, and I said, 'Take it away! take it away!

Slavin heard him. "Ay!" he flung back grimly. "An' they will shtand on th' dhrop yet thim same feet!"

Where the latter denoted an even, steady stride, the former ran in queer, irregular fashion sometimes bunched together, and at others with wide spaces between.
