Drinks had been flying about, and when at last de man dat kep' de table said, 'De bank will close for tonight,' de young fellow could scarce walk steady on his feet.

His pockets were full ob notes.

I went up to him and said, 'Will you hab a bed here, sar, bery good bed ?' but he laugh and say, 'No, Sam, I may be a little fresh in de wind, but I tink I can make de boat.' I saw dose fellows scowl when I speak to him, and I make up my mind dey after no good.

Well, sar, dey go out fust.

Den he go out wid some oder people and stand laughing and talking at de door.
