"The tin case and the dog chains were all she bought, and all she took away.

With my love and respects--and I can't find it in my conscience to take a poor girl's savings, when she may want them herself." "I can't find it in MY conscience, ma'am, to give the money back," says Sergeant Cuff.

"You have as good as made her a present of the things--you have indeed." "Is that your sincere opinion, sir ?" says Mrs.Yolland brightening up wonderfully.
"There can't be a doubt about it," answered the Sergeant.
