"At any rate, they talked of sodding Captain Ussher at the wedding—didn't they?"

"I niver said so."

"Did they say killing?"

"I won't say they did."

"Or murdering?"

"No; they did not say nothin' about murdher."

"Oh; they did not say anything about murder,—or doing for him? perhaps the prisoner and the other boys agreed to do for him?"
