I pay you to work, and not to waste your time in folly and profanity. |

Hush! Merlin. |
(1, 0) 43 |
Suppose anyone should hear you? |
(1, 0) 44 |
They might think it was me. |

Remember the respectability of the establishment, if you please. |

It was most unseemly. |

Poor Jonathan! he was over-fond of his glass. |
|
|
(1, 0) 59 |
I do, very well─it was good enough to be put into the ground to rot. |
|
|
(1, 0) 61 |
Not shameful, Merlin─it was business. |
|

(1, 0) 65 |
Staggering home, Merlin. |

'Sh! it was a cold night, and I took a little wine, as Paul commands, for the stomach's sake. |
(1, 0) 70 |
I am not accustomed to strong drinks, and it upset me. |
|

(1, 0) 73 |
No, it didn't. |

My poor wife! |
(1, 0) 87 |
She was, indeed, an angel─ |
|

(1, 0) 90 |
Surely, you didn't say that? |
(1, 0) 91 |
It might have been one of the deacons. |

Man is never alone, my young friend─the All-seeing Eye follows him everywhere. |

I hope you are well, Mr. Morgans, and that you find business flourishing? |

It is the way of some people to set their failures down to the evil ways of others, and not to their own shortcomings. |
|

(1, 0) 113 |
Nothing personal, Mr. Morgans. |

If you 'ould work as well as you do talk, you 'ould get on better. |

You ought to be in the ministry, telling people what to do, and not bothering to do it yourself. |

Anne, my girl, you had better go in. |
(1, 0) 134 |
You come here a great deal too much for your good; and I am afraid Merlin encourages you. |
|

(1, 0) 136 |
Temper─temper, Merlin! |
(1, 0) 137 |
I don't want you to leave me. |
|
|
(1, 0) 141 |
Merlin! you ought to know better than to say such a thing─before my daughter, too. |
|
|
(1, 0) 155 |
Nan!─come here. |

Don't put such silly notions in the girl's head. |

My brother-in-law is a bit of a poet, Mr. Morgans, and we must make allowance for his foolish talk. |
|

You have learnt a lot of nonsense at school, Anne Jones. |
|

No beer, Nan─mind! |

Indeed, it is hard to put up with Merlin, sometimes. |
(1, 0) 197 |
But I have got a soft heart, Mr. Morgans, and he is very fond of my daughter; and she is so foolish about him. |
(1, 0) 198 |
That is how it is─you understand? |
|
|
(1, 0) 201 |
Yes─yes─and you can't go against the public feeling. |
(1, 0) 202 |
You must go with the times. |
(1, 0) 203 |
That is my motto─"Go with the times." |

But we mustn't dwell upon these little weaknesses. |
(1, 0) 205 |
You understand? |
(1, 0) 206 |
Tell me, how is business with you, my young friend? |
(1, 0) 207 |
Bad, as usual, I suppose? |
|
|
(1, 0) 209 |
Turn your money, did you, with the new moon? |
|
|
(1, 0) 211 |
No offence, Mr. Morgans. |
(1, 0) 212 |
I am glad to hear you say about your luck. |
(1, 0) 213 |
May I ask you the nature of it? |
|
|
(1, 0) 217 |
I hope it is not the place I am after. |
(1, 0) 218 |
It will grieve me very much if it is. |
|
|
(1, 0) 223 |
You tell me where is yours, and I will tell you where is mine. |
(1, 0) 224 |
I give you first chance, Mr. Morgans. |
|
|
(1, 0) 227 |
Dear me, that is very unlucky. |
(1, 0) 228 |
I am afraid we are after the same place. |
|

(1, 0) 231 |
Come you, don't be downhearted. |
(1, 0) 232 |
If you want it very bad, give me £50, and I'll leave it to you. |
|
|
(1, 0) 235 |
Ah, my young friend, you don't understand business. |
(1, 0) 236 |
But I don't want to be hard on you. |
(1, 0) 237 |
I will lend you the £50. |
(1, 0) 238 |
A hundred if you like. |

The house is good security. |

These are bad times, Mr. Morgans, and money is hard to get. |
(1, 0) 243 |
Shall we say 6 per cent? |

"Miss Jones," my young friend, for the present. |

That is twice you have done the same thing in less than a minute. |
(1, 0) 252 |
You are very forgetful, Mr. Morgans, and a good memory a business man is bound to have, if he is going to climb the ladder to the top. |
|
|
(1, 0) 256 |
But it is a matter of business, and I tell you now what I told you before─ |
(1, 0) 257 |
When you can make £50 in five minutes, the same as I have done, you can ask me for my daughter, and I won't say "No." |
|
|
(1, 0) 259 |
Not another word, if you please. |
(1, 0) 260 |
I must go to the Bank before it do close, to get the money for you. |
(1, 0) 261 |
Take my advice, and don't go to the wall as long as you can borrow £100 from a friend, at 6 per cent! |
