"Heirlums," 'e sez. "I've 'ad the trousiz pressed. / Me father married in 'em, that 'e did. / See this 'ere fancy vest? / See this 'ere lid? / Me gran'dad brought that frum 'is native land / In forty-two-an' then 'twas second-'and."
Clobber? Oh, 'el! Pants uv wild shepherd's plaid, / A coat that might 'ave knocked the cliners flat / When father was a lad, / A tall, pot 'at / That caught the mange back in the diggin's days, / A fancy vest that called fer loud 'oorays.
