Back he ran again, cursing and calling on all and sundry to look smart. Next he was at my side ordering me to unlash the wheel and stand by. 'It's touch-and-go, sir. "'Hadn't we better send up a flare? I suggested feebly. "'Flare your bloomin' grandmother! From this moment I regret to say that Link Andrew treated me with contempt.
'He must have been a very ingenious young man, that, Sam, said Mr. Pickwick, with a slight shudder. 'Just was, sir, replied Mr. Weller, continuing his occupation of emptying the basket, 'and the pies was beautiful. Tongue , well that's a wery good thing when it ain't a woman's. Bread knuckle o' ham, reg'lar picter cold beef in slices, wery good. What's in them stone jars, young touch-and-go?
"It was touch-and-go work, Val," he said to his companion; "and if I hadn't carried matters with a high hand, and sprung my position as an officer in the English service upon those French ruffians, I don't know where it would have ended."
