And I've cried myself stupid-like, bein' her pore mother as 'es lost her on'y darter an' I was just a-tryin' to make myself comfable when this 'ere young toff as seems so werry drunk comes a-rappin' at my door fit to rap the 'ouse down. 'Has she been buried at all? How can a spiritual body be buried? "Buried at all?"
Farnaby on her guard. Toff interrupted his meditations by preparing the table for Sally's breakfast; and, almost at the same moment, Sally herself, fresh and rosy, opened her door a little way, and looked in. "You have had a fine long sleep," said Amelius. "Have you quite got over your walk yesterday?" "Oh yes," she answered gaily; "I only feel my long walk now in my feet.
M'riar, with her sharp, small eyes, noted that the youth, strong, graceful, tall, sun-burned and distinctly wholesome of appearance, did not look at Kreutzer, as he did the little service, but at Anna. "Reg'lar toff!" she muttered, gazing at him with frank admiration, quite impersonal.
Young Bill him that gave me the meringues has got a mate called Winkle. I'll give you an intro., if you like. He's quite a toff. He's been a waiter." Marcella made some excuse, but when Phyllis or Diddy went away to her appointment with Bill she sat for a long time thinking. She was already feeling disillusioned. At nine o'clock she decided to go below.

And I heard 'Alcide' sing, and that little dance she did. I was in the front row, and I fancied she smiled at me. Lord, what a state I was in! Night after night I sat there, I watched her come in, I watched her go.
Melton's conduct was plainly attributable to a reward in prospect; and the name of that reward was Miss Regina. At the end of the three weeks, Rufus returned to London. Once again, he and Toff confronted each other on the threshold of the door. This time, the genial old man presented an appearance that was little less than dazzling.
Again the mandolin began, and the commander on the lee side of the quarter-deck grinned a grin that was reflected in the face of the signal-midshipman. Not a word of the song was lost, and the voice of the singer was the voice of Judson. "Last week down our alley came a toff, Nice old geyser with a nasty cough, Sees my missus, takes his topper off, Quite in a gentlemanly way "
The 'toff' that owned the 'wedge' made a dreadful song about it next day, and him wallowing in wealth, what do you think of that? I'll take care and not get the next for nothing!" "Oh! crikey," cried Pat, "here's a new screw come; what has he been, I wonder?" "Where is he?" said Ned.
It was a great thing that, after all the recent troubles, a Popenjoy, a proper Popenjoy, should be born at Manor Cross of English parents, a healthy boy, a bouncing little lord, as Mrs. Toff called him; and the event almost justified the prophetic spirit in which his grandmother spoke of this new advent.
