"Wiv me?" asked Bubb. "There's nuffink wrong wiv me."
"Ye're lookin' very pale," said Snogger. "I never saw a man look as bad. Have ye had no dinner?"
"No dinner!" exclaimed Bubb. "I 'ad the best meal ever I 'ad."
"It can't have agreed with you," said Snogger. "You look as white as a ghost."
The sergeant walked away and Flanagan poked his head through the door.
"Good God, Bubb!" he exclaimed, "what has happened to you?"
"'Appened to me!" said Bubb. "Nuffink, man. Wot gyme are yer up to?"
"No game at all," said Flanagan. "But you look bad. You should go and see the doctor this evening."
Bubb looked in the little mirror which he always carried about with him (he was really a devil for the girls), and he thought that he was looking white.
"But I don't feel bad," he said to Flanagan.
