the various servants to relieve him of them. (6) He looked round the
bar-room with rather an anxious air, and, retreating with his valuables to
the warmest corner, disposed them under his chair, sat down, and
looked rather apprehensively up at the worthy whose heels illustrated
the end of the mantel-piece, who was spitting from right to left, with a
courage and energy rather alarming to gentlemen of weak nerves and
particular habits.
(7) "I say, stranger, how are ye?" said the aforesaid gentleman, firing an
