'I don't want to hurry you, you know, neighbour,' said the dwarf, raising his voice, for the old man's senses were duller than they had been; 'but, as soon as you can arrange your future proceedings, the better.' 'Surely,' said the old man.

'Poor Nell too, what would she do ?' 'Exactly,' bawled the dwarf nodding his head; 'that's very well observed.

Then will you consider about it, neighbour ?' 'I will, certainly,' replied the old man.

'We shall not stop here.' 'So I supposed,' said the dwarf.
