"Fourteen pound, sir! and she'll take the road before I'll go home with a pound less!" "Fourteen what! Ten; I'll give you ten not a penny more." "Good day to you, Mr. Quilliam," said Cæsar. Then, as if by an afterthought, "You're an ould friend of mine, Thomas; a very ould friend, Tom I'll split you the diff'rance." "Break a straw on it," said Black Tom; and the transaction was complete.
Holy Ghoster. It isn't honesty that's making the diff'rance between us at all it's luck. You've won and I've lost, you've succeeded and I've failed, you're wearing your chapel hat and I'm in this bit of a saucepan lid, but you're only a reg'lar ould Pharisee, anyway."

The staircase door opened at the back of Nancy, and Pete stepped into the room. "What's this, friends?" he asked, in a careworn voice. Cæsar stepped forward with a yellow envelope in his hand.

Dis may be one of de Lo'd's angels undewares."

The room had become too close. Pete helped her into the parlour, where a bright fire was burning, then propped and wrapped her up afresh, and, at her own entreaty, returned to his guests.
