A Wanderer in Holland

CHAPTER X
36/41

You cut up Betsy--you salted the pieces--and you are satisfied with your conduct--three capital counts--who are you, my good woman?

_Lothario_ .-- Thank God! You see, my Lord, that I did not murder her.
_Judge_ .-- Humph!--ay--what!--What about the salting?
_Betsy_ .-- No, my Lord, he did not salt me:--on the contrary, he did many things for me ...
