seed them ticketed ten over and over agin.
But Mrs. Wells, she stood my friend, and
managed for to pin me up; but 'ad to go
'ome as soon as I'd took some refreshment,
and 'ad to carry the jupong. And if Miss
Tredwell didn't expect me to pay 'er twelve
shillin's bat l says, "I'll give you eight, as
it's more than it's worth, and never wanted

into Paris by the 'buss, as was got very nigh
at 'and. Well tho not dressed over light
felt chilly, and says to 'er, ''I'm sure it must
be cold out of doors.'
As soon as I'd got out found as the weather
Fad changed, and afore I'd been out long was
downright a-perishin' with cold, and says to
Mrs. Wells as l should like "petty ware,'
as is what they calls drop of brandy. She
said as she should like the same; so says,
"Let's stop bit, and we can soon ketch the
'buss up" so we stops at one of them caffees,
and says to the garsong, "Doo petty wares"

brings in the bottle. l don't think as ever

sho, as he understood, and brought some 'ot
water, and Mrs. Wells and me 'ad small
tumbler apiece. When we'd 'elped ourselves,
that garsong, he come and took away the
brandy, as we 'adn't took much out on. Well,
we set talkin' and a-sippin' of the liquor, as
wasn't over strong, till l says, "This won't

says, "We've never drunk all that !"
He begins to iabber and scream; so l goes

with 'er air done very nice, and bottles all
afore 'er, and shows 'er the bottle, and says
"Jammy,n as means never. l couldn't make

that other party didn't call in one of them
surions-de-will, as nearly scared Mrs. Wells
to death, and she took and paid the two
francs.
I give it 'em pretty 'ot, can tell you, as I'm
