Pray, Ma'am, can you move ever such a little scrinch? Indeed, Marm,

its quite unpossable for me to stir an inch.—Well, if I'd stay'd at

leave such a nest, for we're all swarming alive with fleas.—Then I'll

take my leave, Marm, to shift a little further from where you are

sittin', for though I don't like to be crushed, I don't choose to be

bitten.
