082.01 to one and oppositely from the other on its law of capture and
082.02 recapture), under the All In rules around the booksafe, fighting
082.03 like purple top and tipperuhry Swede, (Secremented Servious of
082.04 the Divine Zeal!) and in the course of their tussle the toller man,
082.05 who had opened his bully bowl to beg, said to the miner who
082.06 was carrying the worm (a handy term for the portable distillery
082.07 which consisted of three vats, two jars and several bottles though
082.08 we purposely say nothing of the stiff, both parties having an
082.09 interest in the spirits): Let me go, Pautheen! I hardly knew ye.
082.10 Later on, after the solstitial pause for refleshmeant, the same
082.11 man (or a different and younger him of the same ham) asked in
082.12 the vermicular with a very oggly chew-chin-grin: Was six vic-
082.13 tolios fifteen pigeon takee offa you, tell he me, stlongfella, by
082.14 picky-pocky ten to foul months behindaside? There were some
082.15 further collidabanter and severe tries to convert for the best part
082.16 of an hour and now a woden affair in the shape of a webley (we
082.17 at once recognise our old friend Ned of so many illortemporate
082.18 letters) fell from the intruser who, as stuck as that cat to that
082.19 mouse in that tube of that christchurch organ, (did the imnage of
082.20 Girl Cloud Pensive flout above them light young charm, in
082.21 ribbons and pigtail?) whereupon became friendly and, saying not
082.22 his shirt to tear, to know wanted, joking and knobkerries, all
082.23 aside laying, if his change companion who stuck still to the in-
082.24 vention of his strongbox, with a tenacity corrobberating their
082.25 mutual tenitorial rights, happened to have the loots change of
082.26 a tenpound crickler about him at the moment, addling that hap
082.27 so, he would pay him back the six vics odd, do you see, out of
082.28 that for what was taken on the man of samples last Yuni or Yuly,
082.29 do you follow me, Capn? To this the other, Billi with the Boule,
082.30 who had mummed and mauled up to that (for he was hesitency*
082.31 carried to excelcism) rather amusedly replied: Woowoo would
082.32 you be grossly surprised, Hill, to learn that, as it so happens, I
082.33 honestly have not such a thing as the loo, as the least chance of
082.34 a tinpanned crackler anywhere about me at the present moho-
082.35 moment but I believe I can see my way, as you suggest, it
082.36 being Yuletide or Yuddanfest and as it's mad nuts, son, for you
Summary Page 82:
The pair struggled, apparently for some considerable time, around the book-safe, and in the course of their tussle the taller man said to the miner, who was carrying a portable distillery, “Let me go, Pautheen! I hardly knew ye!” Then he asked whether a sum of money had once been pickpocketed from the other, and presently, after some further collision and banter for the best part of an hour, he wanted to know whether his companion might happen to have the change of a ten-pound note on his person, adding that he would like to pay back the sum formerly pickpocketed.
