Wife! what's the meaning of Mr.Larkins's ginger-pop being so flat ?" "It is very curious ginger-beer indeed, Mr.Ballhatchet," said Norman; "and since it is liable to have such strange properties, I cannot allow it to be used any more at the school." "Very well, sir-as you please, sir.

You are the first gentleman as has objected, sir." "And, once for all, I give you warning," added Norman, "that if I have reason to believe you have been obliging the young gentlemen, the magistrates and the trustees of the road shall certainly hear of it." "You would not hurt a poor man, sir, as is drove to it--you as has such a name for goodness!" "I have given you warning," said Norman.

"The next time I find any of your bottles in the school fields, your licence goes.

Now, there are your goods.

Give Mr.Larkins back the fifteen-pence.
