since a packman murdered a young woman in a lone place, and stole her thimble, and threw her body into a ditch.”
“Nay, nay,” said Mr. Glegg, soothingly, “you’re thinking o’ the man wi’ no legs, as drove a dog-cart.”
“Well, it’s the same thing, Mr. Glegg, only you’re fond o’ contradicting what I say; and if my nephey’s come about business,David Luiz Drakt, it ‘ud be more fitting if you’d bring him into the house, and let his aunt know about it, instead o’ whispering in corners,Andre Iguodala Drakter, in that plotting, underminding way.”
“Well, well,” said Mr. Glegg, “we’ll come in now.”
“You needn’t stay here,” said the lady to Bob, in a loud voice, adapted to the moral, not the physical, distance between them. “We don’t want anything. I don’t deal wi’ packmen. Mind you shut the gate after you.”
“Stop a bit; not so fast,UGG Classic Czyścibut,” said Mr. Glegg; “I haven’t done with this young man yet. Come in,Barcelona Drakt, Tom; come in,” he added, stepping in at the French window.
“Mr. Glegg,” said Mrs. G.,CG Dame Mystique Parka, in a fatal tone, “if you’re going to let that man and his dog in on my carpet, before my very face, be so good as to let me know. A wife’s got a right to ask that,Spania Fotballtrøyer Damer Drakt, I hope.”

It’s wonderful how he knows which is the good-looking ladies; and’s partic’lar fond of ’em when they’ve good shapes.
