"He'll be there all right." "In that case I think I'll be there to meet him," I continued.

"It's a pity he should not see some one, and I suppose you will not keep your appointment ?" "Not if I knows it," the man answered.

Then he added regretfully, "A regular toff--he was--free with his rhino as could be, and dressed up to the nines.

He chucked his 'arf soverings about as if they were dirt, he did." "It is sad to think that through your folly, no more of them will find themselves into your pocket," I said.
