That's what I call an active death, avouchal!"
Now this is friendly; this is what I calls as it should be, when a young pastor comes in and makes free, without waiting for an invitation," said Tozer kindly, bustling in; "that speech of yours, sir, was a rouser; that 'it 'em off, that did, and you can see as the connection ain't ungrateful. What's that you say, Phoebe? what? I'm a little hard of hearing. Mr. May!" "Mr.
The two latter were Rousin Redhead and his son, Corney. "So, boys," said the Rouser, "what do you think of our business to-night? Didn't I get well out of his clutches?" "Be me troth, Rouser, darlin'," replied the Dandy, "you niver wor completely in them till this minnit." "Dhar ma lham charth," said Corney, "I say he's a black-hearted villin."
We were all companions in misfortune, and when the news of my release reached their field, they clustered along the fence to give me a parting rouser, which they certainly let go for all they were worth.

This speech was received with great applause, mixed with cries of: "That's the talk!" "He's a good fellow, anyway, if he is a teetotaler!" "Drink his health!" "Give him a rouser, and no heeltaps!"

"I suppose bushin' it afore now," said our friend of the preceding part of the night. "I bushed it myself for a year and a half, but be Japurs I got sick of it.
It is from thim that's in higher quarters you'll get your doom, an' not from me, or, as I said afore, from any one here. Mark that; but indeed you know it as well as I do, an' I believe, Rouser, a good deal bether."
