Стр. 20 - We are to turn to the right, did you say ? Tony. No, no : straight forward. I'll just step myself, and show you a piece of the way. (To the landlord.) Mum.
Стр. 50 - And who wants to be acquainted with you? I want no such acquaintance, not I. I'm sure you did not treat Miss Hardcastle that was here awhile ago in this obstropalous manner.
