"Yes." "And there it was necessary to conform to certain rules." "Of course." "That wasn't much like a genuine fight." "I know it; but I found it impossible to hit him a soaker with my left. He is up to all the tricks." "That's all right. Fight him in the evening, where you are not liable to be interrupted till you have finished him.
You miserable old soaker!" "No; I don't. Don't want to. Drink is drink." "I wonder what prevents me from kicking you out. What do you want here?" "Relieve you. You've been long enough down there, George." "Don't you George me you tippling old rascal, you! If I were to die to-morrow you would starve. Remember that. Say Mr. Massy."
