"What's the matter with you?" she asked, giving him a shake.,"A real cricket-ball and bat, lover, and an engine with five carriages, a rake and a spade and a hoe, two guns that pop a new way, and something that squirts water, and some other things.

My little stock of provision was exhausted, and I had been two days without food, when I again heard the doors that led to my prison creek on their hinges.
