Oot tam, he muttered as she entered.

I shall give dat clerk te tevil for sending dis voman to me. Sum peggar I vill pet.

I have called on you again, Mr. Swartz,
gpt
I don't know dat you vash here to see me pefore,
human
You do not recognize me, she remarked, and then added:
gpt
I am the lady who sold her last piece of furniture to you some time ago.
human
Oh! he answered,
gpt
I recollect you now, and vat do you vant?
human
I have come upon the same errand, she replied.
gpt
I have come once more to ask you to aid me, but this time come barren of anything to induce you to comply with my request. Nothing but the generous promptings of your heart can I hold up before you to extend the charity I now solicit.
human
You have come here to peg again, he observed,
gpt
I cannot help my position, she said.
human
A cruel fortune has deprived my of him who used to support me, and I am now left alone with my children to eke out the wretched existence of a pauper. Last night I was turned out of my room by the man who left here a few seconds ago, because I could not pay for my rent. One of my children was sick, but he cared not for that. I told him of my poverty, and he turned a deaf ear towards me. I was forced to leave, and my child has become worse from exposure in the night air.

And vot have I cot to do mit all dis,

human
You have got a plenty, she persisted,
gpt
Mine Cot! he exclaimed,
human
If I make monish I work for it, and don't go about begging.
gpt
I know that, she answered,
human
I can't give you any ding,
gpt
There is a virtue which shines far more than all the gold you possess, replied Mrs. Wentworth.
human
It is in man what chastity is in a woman. An act of charity ennobles man more than all the fame bestowed upon him for any other merit, and his reward is always commensurate with his works. Let this virtue move you. The ear of God cannot always be turned against my prayers to Him, and the hour must surely come, when my husband will be released from prison, and be enabled to repay any kindness you may show his wife and children. Let me have the money I have asked you for.

Oh, sir! she continued, falling on her knees before him,
