"Would ye have me put the cat out, thin? Now, phwat is ut?"，"Nothing of the sort. I am sure of it!" exclaimed Miss Acton. "Who hears of such outrages happening here?"，"No; he was not a draper," says Mona, gently, and without haste.，"No, major," replied Arkel, rather gruffly, for disappointment was beginning to tell on his temper, "nor are we likely to find any until that servant of yours regains his senses.
