You must by this time each know of certain little defects in the Slowcoach that could easily be done away with." "Of course," said Robert. "Blisters." "Don't rot," said Gregory.

Hardly one av us but didn't have the hair burnt off the part his cap didn't cover; an', as for eyelashes, an' mustaches, an' blisters, no one thought av them the next day.
