Excerpt from Three Live Ghosts
They looked at him oddly. Such a demonstra tive little cockney!
Haw, haw! Laughed the son of a lord, mirth lessly. You think he's a funny little duffer said White-patches. Don't you? About as funny as you! Said the other. And you're about as funny as a hole in the ground. Don't talk about holes in the ground! Pleaded the little cockney. They looked at him, with a far-away, curious pity. Ere's nothing but 'eaven over'ead he mut tered. Heaven! They stared. A'yn't he the sweet little young lady? Mocked the son of a lord. Got any like him, in the States? But the American - White-patches - did not answer directly. He's my pal, was all he said. Oh, of course, said the yellow son of a lord indifferently. N o doubt about that! Hadn't they lived, about fifty years in two, together? Lived? Well, clung to this mortal coil - desperately wretchedly - as shipwrecked men to a bit of wreck age! Suddenly the little cockney, overcome by a species of hysteria, or emotion, fell to his knees.
