"Mr. Hyacinth Keegan, that's just gone out of court; he's your master, eh?"
"He is."
"And a very good master—isn't he?"
"Betther, maybe, than yer honour'd be, and yet perhaps none of the best."
"Answer my questions, sir; isn't he a good master?"
"Faix, he is so."
"How long have you been in his employment?"
"How long!"
"Yes, how long?"
