Jest fancy a Prince BONYPARTY sech nuts upon patter and slang! Proves a Prince may be fly to wot's wot, and of chat as _is_ chat 'ave the 'ang. Lor bless yer, this LUCYUN, _'e_ knowed all the cackles as ever was chinned. I'll wager as _'e_ wos aweer as a Billingsgit Pheasant is _finned_! He'd got SOLOMON'S song in Tyke lingo! A pity 'e didn't know _me_! I'd ha' run it off into back slang, and ha' done it most willing and free. 'Cos a Prince and a Frenchy at that, as appreshiates _Punch_, _and_ my patter, Is a precious sight smarter than some "Cockney" criticks, and that's wot's the matter! So bully for Prince BONYPARTY! When weighed in 'e's well hup to scale; And _if_ them books come to the 'ammer, wy 'ARRY means seeing the sale! * * * * * Transcriber's Note: Page 244: Removed extrraneous 'not'.
