But Dolf did not know exactly what to say next without committing himself more deeply than he desired; indeed, he had been led on now considerably farther than he could wish, but that was unavoidable. "Not but what fortins is desirous," he said, "'cause in dis wuld people must lib."
"And I footed it there, and that's sixteen. And I paid one-and-sixpence for beer and grub; s'help me I did." "Dan!" said a voice from the bed, rebuking him for the impropriety of his language. "Well; I beg pardon, but I did. And they guv' me two bob; just two plain shillings, by " "Dan!" "And I'd 've arned three-and-six here at brickmaking easy; that's what I wuld.
But let me draw a vail over the seen, and speak of her no more its 'sfishant for the public to know, that her name was Miss Montmorency, and we lived in the New Cut. My poor mother died one morning, Hev'n bless her! and I was left alone in this wide wicked wuld, without so much money as would buy me a penny roal for my brexfast.
So it is wery amiable, wery kind and considerate in her, indeed. Poor Princess! how lucky you was to find a frend who loved you for your own sake, and when all the rest of the wuld turned its back kep steady to you. As for believing that Lady Sharlot had any hand in this book,* heaven forbid! she is all gratitude, pure gratitude, depend upon it.
He called them "pot" roots and sometimes he called them "blow horts". You know they wuld blow up big and fat when they were roasted in the ashes.
