"Well, yes, I confess I was, but I thought of our lad here too. I suppose you will have to lie up, Dumlow?" The big fellow gave quite a start, and then turned frowning and spat in the sea, in token of his disgust. "Me, sir me lie up!" he growled. "What for?" "You are wounded." "Wounded? Tchah! I don't call that a wound. Why, it arn't bled much more than a cut finger. Me under a hawning!
House-breakers and highwaymen's bad enough; but a thief as come a-robbin' a garden, where you've been nussin' the things up for years and years ah! there's nothing worse than that." "You've got some old birch brooms, David," cried Tom, without committing himself to the gardener's sentiments. "Birch, sir? Tchah! Birch would only tickle him, even if we could hit him on the bare skin." "Nonsense!

"Will you let me dance?" she asked. "Tchah!" snorted the old woman. "So the Wielitzska blood is coming out after all!" She turned to Virginia. "Can she dance?" she demanded abruptly.
But tchah! it's no use to say nought to your uncle. If somebody was to come and steal his legs I don't b'lieve he'd holler `Stop thief! but when it comes to my fruit, as I'm that proud on it grieves me to see it picked, walking over the wall night after night, I feel sometimes as it's no good to prune and train, and manoor things." "Ah, it must be vexatious, David!"
But think the mill 'll come down?" "Oh no, David," said Uncle Richard quietly; "there is no fear. Is that boy much hurt?" "Him, sir? Tchah! There's nothing the matter with him. The shock knocked him off the wall, and he lay howling, expecting some one to give him a shilling to put him right. He'd forgotten all about it before he got home, and began to quarrel with his granny."

"Didn't think much o' yourn anyhow," said the man. "Why didn't you make one, then?" growled Billy fiercely. "There, don't get up a quarrel, mate," said the man.
"You're too fond of settling other people's business." "Yes, Mr Ellis, sir, that's what I tell him," said old Hannah anxiously. "Tchah!" growled old Tummus, giving his body a jerk. "Very well then, sir, he thowt he were, and it got on his mind like that he were all in the darkness, and it's my belief as he couldn't bear it, and went and made a hole in the water so as to be out of his misery."
