And  the  people  begun  to  stare.     But  the  dandy

Took  him  away,  though,  very  handy,

And  into  the  'sarvatory  another  road,

And  coaxin'  him,  for  the  love  of  God,

To  keep  quite.^     And  "  Be  carm,^  Sir  John,  be  carm  !  *

And  scrunchin'  the  teeth,  and  just  like  barm —

Foamin' !     And  her,  he  was  sayin',  her  I

And,  then — "  Look  there.  Sir  John,  look  there  !  "

Look  there,  indeed  !     Aw,  the  close  !  the  close  !

And  the  fotu:  lips  makin'  the  one  red  rose —

Somethin'  worth  lookin'  at,  I'll  swear !

Aw,  a  beautiful  pair !  a  beautiful  pair !

"  Rascal !  scoundrel !  villain  !  thief ! "

Aw,  the  rose  was  broke — aw,  every  leaf!

**  Come  out  of  that ! "  he  says,  and  the  string

Of  his  tongue  was  unloosed,  and  then  full  swing

The  cusses  come  roUin'  fair  and  free.
^  AH  the  same.  '  Quiet.  '  Calm.
356  THE  DOCTOR

And,  "Is  this  your  gratitude  to  me !

And  you  !  Miss  Madam  !  you  !  you  !  you  ! "

He  was  chokin'  lek ;  but  the  poor  girl  flew

Like  a  freckened  bird,  and  in  on  the  door —

The  little  one,  I  tould  you  afore —

And  the  dandy  he  got  behind  it,  the  way

She  wouldn'  see  him  !     Aw,  as  good  as  a  play !

But  she  did,  and  she  gave  him  a  look  for  all  ^

That  was  fit  to  pin  him  against  the  wall.
