"As you know, I have had the honour," said Captain Acton with slight sarcasm, "to serve under my Lord St Vincent when he was Sir John Jervis, I may claim to know him." "Say!" he burst out. "I lied to you, Lou, I didn't fall out o' no tree, I was jest scared plum stiff when you found me, that's all." "I am much obliged to you, sir, for your information," he said to Mr Adams.

"If trousers come in legs must go out," said Lucy. "What is the good of being able to make a leg with elegance if fashion compels you to conceal the eloquent member?" "Yes, sir. If we had a good well I wouldn't have to drive the cows down to the lake every night, like this." "No, I don't either, I mean his and Scroggie's game; of course Scroggie's behind him." "I didn't see she 'ad, your honour.".
