1 Mr. Sowerberry came down soon after.
2 'Well,' said Mrs. Sowerberry, sharply.
3 Shortly afterwards, Mrs. Sowerberry appeared.
4 'Nothing, my dear, nothing,' said Mr. Sowerberry.
5 'No one else, Mr. Sowerberry,' replied the beadle.
6 'Not at all, my dear,' said Mr. Sowerberry humbly.
7 The board presented it to me on Newyear's morning, Mr. Sowerberry.
8 'Oh, don't tell me what you were going to say,' interposed Mrs. Sowerberry.
