"Is the boat wrecked?" asked Mrs. Twig. "Can't you fix un and use un any more?" "Well now, I'm not knowin' rightly yet, but I'm fearin' her bottom's knocked out of she," answered Skipper Zeb. "If 'tis, 'twill be the end of she, but we'll be makin' out as fine as can be without she." "'Tis too bad to lose she after all our skimpin' and savin' to buy she," mourned Mrs. Twig.
"I wasn't in bad shape at all!" protested Enoch. The two men, eying Enoch steadily, each suppressed a smile. "Field and I are on a kind of vacation too," said Mack. "I'm a superintendent of a zinc mine, and he's running the mill for me. We had to shut down for three months bottom's dropped clean out of the price of zinc.
Your ten thousand is a sop; and people will only wonder you were so damned impudent as to offer such a small one! Whichever way you take it, Mr. Dodd, the bottom's out of your character; so there's one thing less to be considered." "I dare say you'll scarce believe me," said I, "but I feel that a positive relief." "You must be made some way different from me, then," returned Nares.
There's no fish pulls harder than a chub, not in the ordinary way of fishing. A chub he'll pull just like a little pig; he will indeed, if you believe me." "And a jack, uncle," put in Minnie, who liked to please the old man. "Doesn't a jack pull hard?" "Well, it's like this, my dear; it depends on the bottom when it's jack. If the bottom's weedy see? you must keep your line tight on a jack.
Are the other two groups which were introduced in the first act, the Duke's party and Bottom's set, interwoven with the new fairy group in any way in this Act?

It was worth two shillin' to go for that; there, hyste it up and in with you." "Hoist the ladder by myself?" "Yes, it's easy enough. Bottom's heavy and top's light. Shall I do it?" "Yes, quickly." "'Nother shillin'. I arn't going to have nothing to do with it, and so I tell yer, without." "I wish you wouldn't speak so loudly," whispered Sam impatiently. "Yah! go on! nobody can't hear us.
"The bottom's out, and it'll not be put back soon, I'm thinkin'. I'll have to have what's belongin' to me to-day. I haven't any time to spare." "Very well," replied Cowperwood, who saw clearly how treacherous the situation was. The old man was in a dour mood. His presence was an irritation to him, for some reason a deadly provocation.
"Only a little one," said Honora, "the simplest kind. But if you're poor " She had made a discovery to reflect upon his business success was to touch a sensitive nerve. "I'm not poor," he declared. "But the bottom's dropped out of the market, and even old Wing is economizing. We'll have to put on the brakes for awhile, Honora."
