Potatoes! That I should live to see Chaffey's 'anding out such potatoes! They're more like food for pigs, and I've known the day when Chaffey's 'ud have thrown 'em at the 'ead of anybody as delivered 'em such offal.

Why, to Chaffey's.

He couldn't afford a real rest'rant; but Chaffey's looks the same, and Chaffey's is cheap.
