"I've been to Paris and I've been to Dover." I burst out laughing, though the next moment I felt a little queer, for Ike laid his hand on my shoulder. "Don't laugh, my lad," he whispered; "there's some'at queer 'bout this here." "Why, nonsense, Ike!" I said. "Ah! you may say it's nonsense; but I don't like it." "I've been to Paris and I've been to Dover."

I wish he'd come back without a penny, and with hunger like a wolf in his stomach, and with his clothes all rags, so that he might have had a taste of the suffering of a vagabond's life."
"Down the town!" the three ladies cried, in one chorus of astonishment. "I've been as quick as I could, missis. I runned all the way there and back; but it was a good step, and he was some'at heavy, though he is but a little'un," "He! who on earth is he?" "Deary me!

"The devil an' all's in it to-night," he murmured to himself; "there's some'at here fetchin' of its breath awful loud."

'You must drink this, Jacob, an' eat some'at, she says, 'before you go out. So to quiet her I takes the mug, but I hadn't half drunk it when I hears shouting outside.
Be a man, Sim look men in the face things will mend with you now. Go back and live with them at the old home; they'll want you there." "Since you will not let me come with you, Ralph, tell me when will you come back? I'm afeart I don't know why but some'at tells me you'll not come back tell me, Ralph, that you will."
