since a packman murdered a young woman in a lone place, and stole her thimble, and threw her body into a ditch.”
“Nay, nay,” said Mr. Glegg,Peony Tall Czyścibut 5802, soothingly, “you’re thinking o’ the man wi’ no legs,Olympique De Marseille Drakt, as drove a dog-cart.”
“Well, it’s the same thing, Mr. Glegg, only you’re fond o’ contradicting what I say; and if my nephey’s come about business, it ‘ud be more fitting if you’d bring him into the house, and let his aunt know about it, instead o’ whispering in corners, in that plotting, underminding way.”

“Stop a bit; not so fast,” said Mr. Glegg; “I haven’t done with this young man yet. Come in, Tom; come in,” he added, stepping in at the French window.
“Mr. Glegg,Peuterey Męskie Kurtka,” said Mrs. G., in a fatal tone, “if you’re going to let that man and his dog in on my carpet,Hawkstone Waxed Parka Bunda, before my very face, be so good as to let me know. A wife’s got a right to ask that, I hope.”
