The other sniffed contemptuously. “Garn,” he said, “that ain’t a pork sausage, that’s ’orse.” “ ’Tain’t,” said the first man. “It’s good pork sausage, that’s what it is.” “I reckon you don’t know nothing about it,” reiterated his mate. “That’s a ’orse sausage, and I’ll prove it fer yer!” Saying which he picked up the subject of altercation and left the room. Presently he returned, a beaming smile of triumph lighting up his face. “There y’are, matey; I knew I was right. It’s ’orse, right enough. I’ve proved it.” “ ’Oiv?” “Well, I took that there sausage, two, three, four, five —and I took it and I cut it into five pieces—one, out and put it on the keb-rank round the corner, see? Then I took away the first bit, and the other four moved up!” \
