"But I do not think it was you that I called to. Keep away, please. Don't come any nearer. What do you want?" "Well, I'll take that blessed 'and-bag to go on with; and if there aren't no money in it tumble it out let's see lively now! I'll feed for the rest of this week Gawd, yuss!" She made no reply, no attempt to obey him, no movement of any sort.
"Got down to the last ditch down to the point of desperation, eh?" "Yuss. So would you if you 'ad a fing inside you tearin' and tearin' like I 'ave.

"Wot," cried Tray, suddenly, "the one-eyed cove? Ho, yuss, but warn't he?

Through the roar of protest and argument, he held out those grotesque great hands of his with the suggestion 'You show me a Liberal, and I'll show you a Mr. Facing-both-ways. Yuss. The Liberal, 'e sheds the light of his warm and 'andsome smile on the workin' man, and round on the other side 'e's tippin' the wink to the great landowners. Yuss.

An' 'e knows 'orse-flesh. Blimy if 'e don't! If Garrison weren't down an' out I'd be ready to tyke my Alfred David it were 'is bloomin' self. An' I thought 'e was a dub! Ho, yuss me!"
