JINKS TRYING HIS OWN COALS

MAID - Ayther the chimley won't draw or the coals won't burn, drat 'em! I'll just open the window, and get up a little draught.
JINKS - Hallo! what are you about?
MAID - A-trying to light the fire, Sir, with your coals.
JINKS - With my coals! The girls a-a ninny. Sh-u-u-t dow-own the window, and - let me enjo-oy the smoke, for that sur-pri-zes me.
