Mynheer looked steadily at the pair for a few minutes as if collecting his stray wits, and then broke out as follows :—" See here, Vynce X know vat dis is here—-your own brother ; but he; be one you call a minor. He ish top much young to drink his glass lager; it is not for the law in no place nor so mit my saloon, He look like you; you may be one family as you call it; but if you ever bring dat young brudder here again I will shust tell your old fadder jackass of you both.
