Castle Richmond

CHAPTER XV
14/27

This is what I calls a real bit of cheese.

Now it's no good going on piddling and peddling in such a case as this; is it now, Sir Thomas ?" Sir Thomas muttered something, but it was no more than a groan.
"Not the least use," continued Aby.

"Now the question, as I takes it, is this.

There's your son there as fetched me in 'ere; a fine young gen'leman 'e is, as ever I saw; I will say that.

Well, now; who's to have this 'ere property when you walk the plank--as walk it you must some day, in course?
Is it to be this son of yours, or is it to be this other Fitzgerald of 'Appy 'Ouse?
Now, if you ask me, I'm all for your son, though maybe he mayn't be all right as regards the dam." There was certainly some truth in what Aby had said with reference to his father.
