have been a very comforable maintenants, only he knever paid him.

Owever, the young genlmn was a genlmn, and no mistake; he got his
allowents of nothing a year, and spent it in the most honrabble
and fashnabble manner. He kep a kab---he went to Holmax--and
Crockfud's--he moved in the most xquizzit suckles and trubbld the
law boox very little, I can tell you. Those fashnabble gents have
ways of getten money, witch comman pipple doan't understand.

Though he only had a therd floar in Pump Cort, he lived as if he
had the welth of Cresas. The tenpun notes floo abowt as common as
haypince--clarrit and shampang was at his house as vulgar as gin;
and verry glad I was, to be sure, to be a valley to a zion of the
nobillaty.

Deuceace had, in his sittin-room, a large pictur on a sheet of
paper. The names of his family was wrote on it; it was wrote in
the shape of a tree, a-groin out of a man-in-armer's stomick, and
the names were on little plates among the bows. The pictur said
that the Deuceaces kem into England in the year 1066, along with
William Conqueruns. My master called it his podygree. I do bleev
it was because he had this pictur, and because he was the HONRABBLE
Deuceace, that he mannitched to live as he did. If he had been a
common man, you'd have said he was no better than a swinler. It's
only rank and buth that can warrant such singularities as my master
show'd. For it's no use disgysing it--the Honrabble Halgernon was
a GAMBLER. For a man of wulgar family, it's the wust trade that
can be--for a man of common feelinx of honesty, this profession is
quite imposbil; but for a real thoroughbread genlmn, it's the
esiest and most prophetable line he can take.
