And you thought I could be engaged to anyone but you. There is no one but you in the world, dear. It would be quite empty if you left it. Don't worry about ways and means and things, Dam, I shall enjoy waiting for you twenty years."
He'll adorn it better than a poor lammicken feller like myself can. Tell'n he shall hae it for a hundred. But I won't stand upon trifles tell'n he shall hae it for fifty for twenty pound! Yes, twenty pound that's the lowest. Dammy, family honour is family honour, and I won't take a penny less!" Tess's eyes were too full and her voice too choked to utter the sentiments that were in her.
Now, Mamma, we can't let this goof stay here all night. I guess he's a thief. I ain't goin' to let the folks have a laugh on you. Didn't your father always keep a diary?" "Think of your rememberin' that, Dammy! Yes, always." "That's what Frisco's readin' up in. He's smart. Used to do im'tations of actors and cry like a hose pipe. Spotted that. Where's the strawb'ry jam?" "Right here, Dammy.

"Don't talk to me about daring to do this thing or t'other, or when my dander is up it's the very thing to urge me on. I oughtn't to have come last night, I know I oughtn't: but I told you I was drunk, and that ought to be sufficient between gentleman and gentleman." "You a gentleman! dammy, sir," said the Baronet, "how dares a fellow like you to call himself a gentleman?"
She said, when he paused: "That's Adam, there, on the mantelpiece, Papa. Six feet four and a half he is. It don't show in a picture." "The Navy's rough kind of life, Myrtle. I hope he ain't picked up bad habits. The world's full of pitfalls." "Sure," said Mrs. Egg, shearing the whisper. "Only Dammy ain't got any sense about cards.
"And there are others who may perhaps consider themselves aggrieved." At Colville's club, where they dined, he met more than one friend. "Hallo!" said one who had the ruddy countenance and bluff manners of a retired major. "Hallo! Who'd have expected to see you here? I didn't know I thought eh! dammy!" And a hundred facetious questions gleamed from the major's eye.
