But he won't, and a good job for him and me, too, S'Richard, sir." "Silence, man!" "I beg pardon, sir. O' course, that's wrong now; but I tell you this, sir: he's made me that wild again with myself, and now about you, sir, that, if I had to cut his hair or strop a razor to shave him, I should chuck the tools out o' window.
