"'Tis from your friend, sure enough," announced Mr Philp. "He paid off his crew last Toosday, an' took his discharge an' the train down to Plymouth.
"It's dat ar cussed infunnelly party at Lockemup last Toosday!" said Jenny, as she cleared away the tea service "a-screwin' up tight in cusseds an' ball-dresses! an' a-dancing all night till broad daylight! 'sides heavin' of ever so much unwholesome 'fectionery trash down her t'roat de constitution ob de United States hisself couldn't stan' sich! much less a delicy young gall!
But the One who makes it knows He's a-workin' in the pattern, and the black dark bits only serve to show up the bright that's a-comin'. 'Ay, said Reuben, sinking into a chair; 'I mind plenty o' black days in my life; but I've had a many bright 'uns too ay, and one white 'un, and that were last Toosday! It be a fine patch o' white in my quilt, Jenny!
If I could get better, please God, I never would put off the scrubbin' out o' the cupboards agen. Twas Toosday, the day for to do 'em, and I says to myself, "I seem strangely tired, I'll leave it till tomorrow;" and Wednesday found me in my bed, too bad to move, and the cupboards hasn't had their right chance yet, and Deb she be but a poor cleaner.

I don't suppose she'll cry when I die, you know," said the worthy old gentleman with a grin. "Nor shall I go into very deep mourning if anything happens to her.

She asked me to go to her evening parties every Toosday; and didn't I take opera-boxes and give her dinners at the restaurateurs, that's all? But I had a run of luck at the tables, and it was not in the dinners and opera-boxes that poor Clavering's money went.
