Do you does the Government, I mean suppose that the Khusru Kheyl will sit quiet when they once know? What will the Mahomedan heads of villages say? How will the police Muzbi Sikhs and Pathans how will THEY work under him? We couldn't say anything if the Government appointed a sweeper; but my people will say a good deal, you know that. It's a piece of cruel folly!
I tells you vot, if you keeps jawing there, atween me and she, I shall vop you, Joe, cos vy? I be's the biggest!" was the answer of Beck the sweeper to Joe the ragamuffin. The jovial Joe laughed aloud, snapped his fingers, threw up his ragged cap with a shout for King Bill, and set off scampering and whooping to join those festivities which Beck had so churlishly disdained.
Two street sweepers, seated on a curbstone, were discussing a comrade who had died the day before. "Bill certainly was a good sweeper," said one. "Y-e-s," conceded the other thoughtfully. "But don't you think he was a little weak around the lamp-posts?" His face was pinched and drawn. With faltering footsteps he wended his way among the bustling Christmas crowd.
He would have 'lost caste' if he had done barber's work for anybody but a European!"

A woman adjusts her stocking on the coping below the fence with the freedom of a country road. A street sweeper, patched to his office, tunes his slow work to fit the quiet surroundings. Boys skate by or cut swirls upon the pavement in the privilege of a playground. My work if anything so pleasant and unforced can carry the name is done at a window that overlooks this park.
Frederick imitated the squeaking voice of this chimney-sweeper to great perfection. "Now," continued he, "this fellow is just my height. The old Quaker, if my face were blackened, and if I were to change clothes with the chimney- sweeper, I'll answer for it, would never know me." "Oh, it's an admirable invention! I give you infinite credit for it!" exclaimed Mrs. Theresa.
"So you be's 'ere to-day, Beck!" said a ragamuffin boy, who, pushing and scrambling through his betters, now halted, and wiped his forehead as he looked at the sweeper. "Vy, ve are all out pleasuring. Vy von't you come with ve? Lots of fun!" The sweeper scowled at the urchin, and made no answer, but began sedulously to apply himself to the crossing.
