I say, as I'm ready to wager any man ten pound, if he'll stand out wi' me any dry night in the pasture before the Warren stables, as we shall neither see lights nor hear noises, if it isn't the blowing of our own noses. That's what I say, and I've said it many a time; but there's nobody 'ull ventur a ten-pun' note on their ghos'es as they make so sure of."

"But I'm sorry to say that the Ogilvys were licked, though I say it that shouldn't," continued the captain, with a sigh, as he relighted his pipe. "Howsever, 'Never ventur', never win, Blaze away an' don't give in," as Milton remarks in his preface to the Pilgrim's Progress."

Oh, yes, young Har is a man of taste indoobitably, I think you must admit." "Very much so indeed, sir!" answered Mr. Stevens with his pallid glance on the array of bottles.
