CHAPTER IV
26/60

"Hark ye, Blewitt.

I know you to be one of the most infernal thieves and scoundrels unhung.

If you attempt to hector with me, I will cane you; if you want more, I'll shoot you; if you meddle between me and Dawkins, I will do both.

I know your whole life, you miserable swindler and coward.
I know you have already won two hundred pounds of this lad, and want all.

I will have half, or you never shall have a penny." It's quite true that master knew things; but how was the wonder.

"Now listen to this, Mr.Blewitt," continues master at last.
