Bill's Paper Chase

Sailormen 'ave their faults, said the night watchman, frankly. I'm notdenying of it. I used to 'ave myself when I was at sea, but being closewith their money is a fault as can seldom be brought ag'in 'em.
I saved some money once—two golden sovereigns, owing to a 'ole in mypocket.
