You was on the railway platform at Exeter on Saturday when we was waiting for the 12 express 'buss;--wasn't you now, Mr.S. ?" "What's that to you ?" "Well;--as it do happen, it is something to me.
And, Mr.S., if you was asked that question in hany court in England or before even one of the metropolitan bekes, you wouldn't deny it." "Why the devil should I deny it? What's all this about, Trevelyan ?" "Of course you can't deny it, Mr.S.When I'm down on a fact, I am down on it.
