He's friends with me now, said Mary. That's like him, snapped Ben

I say! he said. But this is nonsense.

Like Spencer's Talus with his modern flail He threatens ruin with his ponderous tail.

And why?

Certainly.

And now?

He has.

And I.

But

That's not enough for a woman, I said. They want to be shown.

And Irene Adler?

But to whom?

Of course, sir.

And my heart's weak.

But your client

And now? I asked.

That would be ugly, you know. Ugh! said Tom, with a sneer.

But avast, he added, tapping his forehead, you haint no objections to sharing a harpooneer's blanket, have ye?

And Mademoiselle's address? he asked.

That is excellent.

And when will you call?

That there? she said.

If tha' likes.

Everybody knows him.

And it is crying.

That's all.

And the money's gone!

Of course you did.

But you have hopes?

But Not a penny!

But she will refuse.

I heard there was a child, though no one ever saw her.

I like Dickon, added Mary.

That's him! said Hall.

He's coming. The 'Visible Man!

And food. Anything.

And what of Irene Adler?

But supposing it hasn't?

I feel convinced of it, sir.

And you can't remember? No.

If I had a raven or a fox cub I could play with it, said Mary.

If they wouldn't be so frightened I would take them back with me, said Mary.

He pays reg'lar, was the rejoinder.

That also I could fathom.

He doesn't want to see her.
