'Could I say a few words with you in the next box? 'By all means, rejoined Squeers with a grin. 'My dears, will you speak to your new playfellow a minute or two? That is one of my boys, sir. Belling his name is, a Taunton boy that, sir. 'Is he, indeed? rejoined Mr Snawley, looking at the poor little urchin as if he were some extraordinary natural curiosity.
