'Well, I'll marry yer. Swop me bob, I wants ter badly enough. 'Yer can't; yer married already. 'Thet don't matter! If I give the missus so much a week aht of my screw, she'll sign a piper ter give up all clime ter me, an' then we can get spliced. One of the men as I works with done thet, an' it was arright. Liza shook her head.
He had brought in some ham and eggs, strong coffee, sliced canned peaches, bread and butter. He served as Rainey ate heartily, feeling his old self coming back with the food, especially with the coffee. "Thanks, Tamada," he said as he pushed aside his plate at last. "Everything arright, sir?" purred the Japanese. Rainey nodded. The "sir" was reassuring.
Then she said: 'Arright; I'll come with yer, and wite till the bloomin' old thing starts. She did not trouble to put on a hat, but just walked out as she was, and accompanied Sally to the public-house which was getting up the expedition.
He advanced on tiptoe, so as to make no noise, and for a while stood silently looking at Liza. Mrs. Hodges was by his side. 'Can I speak to 'er? he whispered. 'She can't 'ear you. He groaned. 'D'yer think she'll get arright? he asked. Mrs. Hodges shrugged her shoulders. 'I shouldn't like ter give an opinion, she said, cautiously.
'An' when I come aht, she went on, ''oo should I see just passin' the 'orspital but this 'ere cove, an' 'e says to me, "Wot cheer," says 'e, "I'm goin' ter Vaux'all, come an' walk a bit of the wy with us." "Arright," says I, "I don't mind if I do." One man winked, and another said: 'Go it, Liza! She fired up with the dignity of outraged innocence.
'Arright, Liza, he answered, and added, almost to himself: 'God bless yer! ''Ulloa, Blakeston, ain't you comin'? said Harry, seeing that Jim was walking off with his wife instead of joining him and Tom. 'Na, he answered, 'I'm goin' 'ome. I've got ter be up at five ter-morrer.
'Let me ply, she said. 'Arright, Liza, cried half a dozen of them in delight; and the captain added: 'You go an' scout over by the lamp-post. 'Go an' scout my eye! said Liza, indignantly. 'When I ply cricket I does the battin'. 'Na, you're not goin' ter bat all the time.

I 'ad a 'usbind myself for five-an'-twenty years, an' I know 'em. 'Well, mother, sobbed Sally, 'it was all my fault. I should 'ave come 'ome earlier. 'Na, it wasn't your fault at all.
'I know Tom 'ud 'ave come, she said to herself, rather sulkily. 'Liza! Liza! she heard her mother's voice calling her. 'Arright, I'm comin', said Liza. 'I've been witin' for you this last 'alf-hour ter rub me. 'Why didn't yer call? asked Liza. 'I did call. I've been callin' this last I dunno 'ow long; it's give me quite a sore throat. 'I never 'eard yer.
And Liza feeling quite joyful and light of heart called back: 'Yus! ''Oorray! shouted Sally in answer. 'Thet's right, Liza, called Jim; and he smiled pleasantly as she looked at him. 'There's just room for you two 'ere, said Harry, pointing to the vacant places by his side. 'Arright! said Tom. 'I must jest go an' get a 'at an' tell mother, said Liza. 'There's just three minutes.
