'A little trouble I had a year or so ago, with a gland that swelled, says I. 'It had to be cut, and has been as right as rain ever since. Just in that offhand way, Cicely. Quite brisk and cheerful. 'Tubercular, eh? says he, very soft and thoughtful-like. And I knew it was all up with me." "You should have told him it wasn't!" Cicely said, tearfully impatient of him. "Oh, if I'd been there !"
He ordered two pints, and then sat down along-side o' Bill, and in five minutes they was like brothers. "'Ave a drop o' gin in it, Bill," he ses, taking the bottle out of 'is pocket.

'Wonderful creatures, women, says he, thoughtful-like; 'and yet I used to think I understood them. No time to do anything, though. 'No; the nearest police station's a day off.
After it was down and it wasn't much fun swallowing it, let me tell you after it was down, Flop Ear walked out in the street sort of slow and thoughtful-like, and wished he had someone to play with, or something to do. "It isn't so much fun staying home as I thought it would be," he said. Just then, in an ash barrel, he saw one roller skate.
