"Now, sir, if you axe me to tell state secrets, I couldn’t do it—no, not for a judge or royal highness.  I name no names; but I’ll tell ’ee what I said to them as axed me, that being law for rich and poor.  ’Force yer way in,’ says I, ’and you would be imprisoned without the auction o’ fine, ’cos the judge med bring it in housebreaking, or burglary if by night.  But there be other roads to market,’ says I.  ’If so be you comes up quiet and finds some out-o’-the-way door as bain’t the high road, so to speak it, into the house, and gets yer foot inside—well, there ’tis; if those inside tries to get yer foot out ’tis assault and battery, and the fine forty shilling.’  That’s what I said, and I make no boast, but I defy any man to give ’ee better law nor that, I don’t care who the man is."
