A thousand pound was settled on her; and she was as high and mighty as if it had been a millium.
Buckmaster died, leaving nothink; nothink except four ugly daughters by Miss Slamcoe: and her forty pound a year was rayther a narrow income for one of her appytite and pretensions.

In an unlucky hour for Shum she met him.

He was a widower with a little daughter of three years old, a little house at Pentonwille, and a little income about as big as her own.

I believe she bullyd the poor creature into marridge; and it was agreed that he should let his ground-floor at John Street, and so add somethink to their means.
They married; and the widow Buckmaster was the gray mare, I can tell you.

She was always talking and blustering about her famly, the celebrity of the Buckmasters, and the antickety of the Slamcoes.
