Excerpt from The "Mrs. Brown" Series
Were a chance for that there people's Willyim, as he did used to be called, for to 'ave a shy at Dizzy, as ain't sich a weazel as to be cort asleep, and no doubt 'ave is weather eye up, like when he took and bested everybody in buyin' up that Sewers Canal, as 'ave made the French that savidge, thro' 'avin' meant to swaller it up themselves, as they could bite their own ears off for spite. Not as they can want to go to war, arter the taste as Old Beast mark 'ave give 'em of wot war really means. Not as ever sespects this ere republic to last long when once this Exhibition is over, cos it ain't likely. In course the French wouldn't never let themselves down to be only like the Merrykins, as is a reg'lar common lot, and no lords nor ladies among 'em, so, in course, don't want no kings nor queens; not but wot they'll get some one as will punch their 'eads some day, and serve 'em like the railway strikes, as ain't fit to 'ave no power, as they shows in bul iyin' of them Injuns, likewise the poor Negro blacks down in the South, as I've see myself as certainly is a dirty set of beasts, no doubt; but, law, if any one is born black it don't come nat'ral as they should take any pride in the keepin' Of themselves clean, so don't never wash their 'ands nor yet take to water, but iles theirselves all over like the hole fant in a state of natur, for fear as their skin should.
