He said he'd seen the rabbits out on the spree many and many a moonlight night when sober folks were in bed; and then he smacked his knees and said, 'But I'd give owt to see one on 'em just nip home and find a Pooffin upon t' hearthstun.' And, my dear Jack, who else has been to see me, do you think?
Fancy! Lorraine! You remember our hearing the poor Colonel was dead, and had left Lorraine all that he had?
Well, do you know it is a great deal more than we thought.

I mean he's got a regular estate and a big house with old pictures inside, and old trees outside.

Quite a swell.

Poor Lorraine! I don't mean poor because of the estate, because he's rich, of course; but do you know, I think he's sadder than ever.

He's very much cut up that the Colonel died, of course, but he seems desperate about everything, and talks more about suicide than he did at Snuffy's, Jem says.
