I hope Dick is ready; he is pretty sure to be.

He's a good little chap, that Dick; he has stuck to me well these five years.

I wouldn't like to trust him with another man's horse, though.

But this other one is no good; he's got all the inclination to go the whole hog, and none of the pluck necessary.

If he ever is lagged, he will be a worse one than ever I was, or Dick either.
