How often did Iwarn him: "Jack, " I would say, "take all the money you can. Guineas tellno tale. But leave the watches in their owners' fobs. " Alas! he did notheed my words, and the last man he ever stopped on the road was thatpompous rascal, Dr. Bell, then chaplain to the Princess Amelia. "Give meyour money, " screamed Jack, "and take no notice or I'll blow yourbrains out. " And the doctor gave him all that he had, the mean-spiriteddevil-dodger, and it was no more than eighteenpence.
