cry " Capevi " all workmen no skirtin', babblin', 

 overrunnin' beggars kept for show merely because 

 they are 'andsome 'andsome is wot 'andsome 

 does, is my happhorism ? ' 



'A very good motto, Mr. Jorrocks,' observed 

 Ego ; ' a very good motto. We shall see presently 

 what they are made of. They seem a goodish 

 sort of hound level if anything, rather full of 

 flesh.' 



* A werry good fault, too, at this time o' year ; 

 we shall soon work them fine enough,' replied 

 Mr. Jorrocks. 



'As fine as Sam Nichol had his, eh? that 

 poor John Warde used to say a man had only 

 to take his shaving-pot into the kennel, lather 

 his face, and scrape his face with the back 

 of a hound he, he, he! good joke that, Mr. 

 Jorrocks, eh ? ' 



' Haw ! haw ! haw ! werry good joke, Mr. 

 Hego, werry good joke, indeed have laughed 

 at it werry often werry old friend o' yours and 

 mine, that joke. S'pose it will be due again
