I'm sure you'll be a customer.

"Three halfpence, Marm, for this here pair—

I only vish as you vould try 'em;

I'm sure you'll say the price is fair—

Come, Marm, a penny if you'll buy 'em.

"There, Betty! I have often said

It isn't dress that makes gentility;

For do observe this hearth-stone blade,

How well he understands ciwility."
