In Their Own Words
"“Oh! very much so, indeed, but there is a poor creature upstairs, whom aunt wishes you to see.”"
"“My dear love,” said Sowerberry, “this is the boy from the workhouse that I told you of.”"
"“Take it, you silly fellow! He’s just the boy for you. He wants the stick, now and then: it’ll do him good; and his board needn’t come very expensive, for he hasn’t been overfed since he was born. Ha! ha! ha!”"
