"I work the front door at the 'Boy some nights, and the rest of the time I'm at the Whitechapel tending bar, which it why it's hard to keep it wrapped. The bandages get wet. But I'll see what I can do from now on."
The 'Boy and the Whitechapel? Well, I suppose the Whitechapel's become more respectable since Mr. Laclos' marriage, but it's still a rough sort of place. "Well, you'll have to be excused from washing up," I tell him. I certainly hope that's what he means.
He seems uneasy about the doctor, who has his own set of rumours, but even so I can't imagine he'd be worried about goin' t'him fer his hand. "Is it something you can show me how it needs to be done?" He looks a bit queasy, and I wonder if he's weak 'round blood. Not much good in a bouncer, I imagine. "My hands are steady, and I'm not bad with a knife, and I...think I could stand to do it."
I sigh 'n shake my head. "Come on, just have a seat at the table back here while I get set up. 'N dunt touch nothin'." Honest, men can be such babies. 'R maybe it's just him. "It'll take less than a mark, 'n it'll be over faster than 'f you're wincin' and pokin' at it with your free hand."
