"That ungrateful beest Fitzwarren--my oan man--a feller I've maid
a fortune for--a feller I give 100 lb. per hannum to!--a low bred
Wallydyshamber! HE must be thinking of falling in love too! and treating
me to his imperence.

"He's a great big athlatic feller--six foot i, with a pair of black
whiskers like air-brushes--with a look of a Colonel in the harmy--a
dangerous pawmpus-spoken raskle I warrunt you. I was coming ome
from shuiting this hafternoon--and passing through Lady Hangelina's

"'You may as well have me, Mary Hann,' says he. 'I've saved money. We'll

colors of the ranebo.

"'Take off your coat, you imperent, hungrateful scoundrl,' says I.

"'It's not your livery,' says he.

"'Peraps you'll understand me, when I take off my own,' says I,
unbuttoning the motherapurls of the MacWhirter tartn. 'Take my jackit,
Joe,' says I to the boy,--and put myself in a hattitude about which
there was NO MISTAYK.

before the gentleman; and I should have killed him, I've little doubt,
but they came and stopt the fite betwigst us before we'd had more than 2
rounds.

"I punisht the raskle tremenjusly in that time, though; and I'm writing
this in my own sittn-room, not being able to come down to dinner on
account of a black-eye I've got, which is sweld up and disfiggrs me

"On account of the hoffle black i which I reseaved in my rangcounter
