3And Aby, seeing this, seated himself more comfortably in his own.
4Aby Mollett raised his hat, and the two gentlemen touched theirs.
5And then Aby drew his breath and paused for an answer.
6But Aby was by no means inclined to be so merciful.
7Aby was abashed, and for a moment or two he did not answer.

11But, Aby, you don't know what sort of people these are.

13You cannot imagine, honest Aby, the surprise I am in.
14Well, Aby; here I am, as large as life, but as cold as death.
