Orkins, and I thought I'd come and warn yer like a man he's got into bad hands, that there dawg." "I am much obliged, Mr. Linton; you seem to be a straightforward-dealing man." "Well, sir, I tries to act upright and downstraight; and, as I ses, if a man only does that he ain't got nothin' to fear, 'as he, Muster Orkins?" "When can I have him, Sam?"
Do you want to see a dawg as CAN kill a rat? If you do, come down with me to Tom Corduroy's, in Castle Street Mews, and I'll show you such a bull-terrier as Pooh! gammon," cried James, bursting out laughing at his own absurdity "YOU don't care about a dawg or rat; it's all nonsense. I'm blest if I think you know the difference between a dog and a duck."

"You won't be likely to touch it while Reno has charge of it," said Tom, quietly, while the girls passed on swiftly. Neither Ruth nor Helen liked to have anything to do with Parloe.
Mrs. Handsomebody looked at her bereft sideboard, and dropped into a chair with a gasp. "Are you sure he's gone?" "Yes'm. I stuck me head out the windy and seen him." "You're a brave girl. Get me the bitters. Yes, and lock the door into the scullery stay, what dog was it that barked?" Mary Ellen hung her head. "The dawg the little boys have been keepin' this bit while.

He knew what the verdict would be, and in twenty minutes the jury gave it, without leaving their seats. "Guilty!" The Sheriff came forward. He knew Jack and Jack knew him, and wagged his tail and whimpered up at him when he took the leash.
