And I sez to myself, it can't be the fault of the place anyway; the law-makers have a chance for their souls to soar if they want to, here is room and to spare to pass laws big as elephants and camels, and I wondered that they should ever try to pass laws as small as muskeeters and nats. Thinkses I, I wonder them little laws don't git to strollin' round and git lost in them magnificent corridors.
When they come to that, they're safe. . . . But from their backs, mistress do 'ee but take a look now, do you wouldn' guess they weren't just as knowledgeable as th' old master himself, as used to judge pigs for the Royal Cornwall the poor old angel! I can see him now, after the best part of a bottle o' sherry, strollin' out to the styes."
One day she'll come strollin' in and beseechin' me for a bunch o' flowers, and the next she'll be here after dark scarin' me out o' my seven senses. She rigged a tick-tack here the other night against the window, and my heart was in my mouth.
Not many folk use it nowadays, 'coss the artful ole dodger opened a new road to the station; but some of us makes a point of strollin' that way on a Sunday afternoon, just to look at the pheasants an' rabbits, an' it's a treat to see the head keeper's face when we go through the lodge gates at the Easton end, for that is the line the path takes."
Another minute, and I'm strollin' over, lookin' bland and innocent. "Any hitch?" says Mr. Robert. "Have we got to the wrong place?" "Not much," says I. "This is the right place at the right time. Didn't you tell me to go as far as I liked, so long as I made it merry?" "So I did, Torchy," he admits. "Then prepare to cut loose," says I. "This way, everybody, and get on your weddin' clothes!"
It was precious dirty and lonely. Not a soul did I meet all the way down, though a cab or two went past me. I was a strollin' down, thinkin' between ourselves how uncommon handy a four of gin hot would be, when suddenly the glint of a light caught my eye in the window of that same house.

Then Elijah take one big, long knife his uncle gif him and sharben it ubon a stone like what I'm doin'. Then he gif a chuckle and he look among those brophets; and he see one man he like the look of, nice and fat; and he say: "Bring me that man!"
I done seen 'em on de hill fo' dark. I done see lots o' men wid guns, and some on hossback dis mornin' strollin' 'long de riber an' ober de country." "Which way did they come from, Cuffy?" inquired Deck. "Most on 'em com 'd down de Harrison road, an' some on 'em was beat'n' across de farm." "Have you heard of the great battle that was fought over by Logan's Cross Roads?" asked the sergeant.
Unless I'm much mistaken, young feller, there's a first-class row goin' on outside our bloomin' cafe. No, no, don't you butt in among Arabs as though you was strollin' down Edgware Road on a Saturday night, an' get mixed up in a coster rough-an'-tumble. These long-legged swine would knife you just for the fun of it.
The bread was getting deplorable, for even the dusty seconds flour was fast dribbling out. "You'll give 'er this, won't you, Miss, and tell her I bin thinkin' of 'er night and d'y? Fair live in the trenches now; and when I do git strollin' round the stad, blimme if I ever see 'er. But she's there an 'ere's a ticker beatin' true to 'er."
