“T will be silent—I will say nothing, Mr. Todd. I know I shall die soon, and then you will get rid of me altogether, and I don’t care how soon that may be, for I am quite weary of my life—TI shall be glad when it is over.” “Very good,” said the barber; “that’s all a matter of taste. And now, Tobias, I desire that you look cheerful and smile, for a gentleman is outside feeling his chin with his hand, and thinking he may as well come in and be shaved. I may want you, Tobias, to go to Billingsgate, and bring me a pennyworth of shrimps.” “Yes,” thought Tobias, with a groan—“yes, while you murder him.” Q909O00OOO commiclooolkks CO)
