What cheer, Stumpy?

What cheer, Tuppeny? replied my master.

Where've yer been to?
gpt
Lunnon Bridge,
human
An' what 'ave yer got?
gpt
Only a rag,
human
That ain't much; I've boned a turnip.
gpt
Jus' your luck. Let's 'ave a look at him.
human
Jus' your luck, said he again.
gpt
Where did yer git 'im?
human
At the gaff, off a young cove as was reg'lar screwed up. I could 'ave took 'is nose off if I'd a wanted it, and he wouldn't have knowed.
gpt
Then this 'ere rag might 'a been some use, replied the disconsolate Tuppeny.
human
Any marks?
gpt
Yees; there is so. C.N. it is; hup in one corner. He was sticking out of the pocket of a young chap as was going along with a face as long as a fooneral, and as miserable-lookin' as if 'e'd swallowed a cat.
