Can't you do a little better than that by a poor workingman, lady?" A very unpleasant looking person, Mr. Cock eye Flinks. Oh, a peculiarly unpleasant looking person to be a model son and a loving husband and a tender father. Margaret was filled with a vague alarm. But she was brave, was Margaret.

Mr. Flinks eyed the purse hungrily. Such a fat purse! thought Cock-eye Plinks. And there ain't nobody within a mile of here, neither. You are not to imagine that Mr. Flinks was totally abandoned; his vices were parochial, restrained for the most part by a lively apprehension of the law.
