 Context examples 

Red Ike, Fighting Yussef, and Chris McCarthy.

(Rodney Stone, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

There was him, and Red Ike, and Fighting Yussef the Jew, and another, with a good bit of blood betwixt the shafts.

(Rodney Stone, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

Chris said that as long as they were at Crawley before the George shut up they could work it. ‘It’s poor pay for a chance of a rope,’ said Red Ike. ‘Rope be damned!’ cried Chris, takin’ a little loaded stick out of his side pocket. ‘If three of you ’old him down and I break his arm-bone with this, we’ve earned our money, and we don’t risk more’n six months’ jug.’ ‘’E’ll fight,’ said Berks. ‘Well, it’s the only fight ’e’ll get,’ answered Chris, and that was all I ’eard of it.

(Rodney Stone, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

There was Red Ike, ’im that was warned off the ring ’cause ’e fought a cross with Bittoon; and there was Fightin’ Yussef, who would sell ’is mother for a seven-shillin’-bit; the third was Chris McCarthy, who is a fogle-snatcher by trade, with a pitch outside the ’Aymarket Theatre.

(Rodney Stone, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

I saw somethin’ was in the wind, and it wasn’t very ’ard to guess what it was—especially when Red Ike was ready to put up a fiver that Jim ’Arrison would never fight at all.

(Rodney Stone, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
