It's no use your making any noise, for you won't be found out by them as has broken in, and you'll only be hoarse when you come to the speeches,--which is a pity.
What I say in respect to the speeches always is, "Give it mouth." That's my maxim.

Give it mouth.

I've heerd,' said the hangman, pulling off his hat to take his handkerchief from the crown and wipe his face, and then putting it on again a little more on one side than before, 'I've heerd a eloquence on them boards--you know what boards I mean--and have heerd a degree of mouth given to them speeches, that they was as clear as a bell, and as good as a play.

There's a pattern! And always, when a thing of this natur's to come off, what I stand up for, is, a proper frame of mind.

Let's have a proper frame of mind, and we can go through with it, creditable--pleasant--sociable.
