CHAPTER XVI
4/20

saw the enemy--in the shape of a Doctor of Divinity.

'Blow me,' says I to Old Bags, 'but I 'll do his reverence!' 'Blow me,' says Old Bags, 'but you sha' n't,--you'll have us scragged if you touches the Church.' 'My grandmother!' says I.Bags tells the pals,--all in a fuss about it,--what care I?
