Gentlemen "real toffs," they call 'em whom you don't know from Adam think nothing of speaking to you in the street. Why, Nurse Jinny says but there another patient's going off who by rights oughter have died only to-morrow. "To-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow," as that barn-stormer actor said. But they're always calling for that giddy young thing. Your GOLLY.
"When you go on your trip for action in the Bois among the toffs, will you take me with you?" "Any one can go to the Bois who has money: and just tell me who are those who make money. Why, those who have plenty of cheek and a good sound business. Well, I have learned my business from some real downy cards, who made it pay well. Why should I not do the same?"
"Ain't there some way you get furniture without payin' for it?" "'Ire systim. But that's for toffs on three quid a week, reg'lar wages. They wouldn't look at us." "We'll get three quid right enough afore we done," said Dickie firmly; "and if you want London, I'd like our old house because of the seeds I sowed in the garden; I lay they'll keep on a-coming up, forever and ever.
"I 'ate toffs," he said, deliberately, as he placed his mug on the counter. "They're all right when you know 'em, Charlie," said Joe, who was averse to having the evening spoiled at that early hour.

Now that's a pity; and sich nice toffs as they are, a-settin' theirselves up to look arter the darters o' pore folks. P'raps you never thought how we was buried.
They did not know what would happen or when it would happen, but they intended to wait till something did happen. It might be for years or it might be for ever, but they meant to be there when things began to occur. Speculations became audible. "Wot is it? 'Naccident?" "Nah! Gent 'ad 'is pocket picked!" "Two toffs 'ad a scrap!" "Feller bilked the cabman!" A sceptic made a cynical suggestion.
What do you mean by insinivatin' to the pore gal's conflicted mother as she p'raps ain't buried at all? You're a-makin' me cry ag'in. She lays comfable enough underneath a lot of other coffins, in the pauper part of the New North Cimingtary. 'Underneath a lot of others; how can that be? 'What! ain't you toffs never seed a pauper finneral?
"De mortuis nil nisi bonum is an excellent maxim, Thompson," remarked Willoughby. "It is that," retorted Mosey. "Divil a fear but they'll nicely bone anythin' in the shape o' credit. Toffs is no slouches at barrickin' for theyre own push. An' I'll tell you another dash good maximum, it's to keep off of weltin' a dyin' man."
