They got tired of waiting at last, and went out to enjoy themselves, and breathe the fresh air in a pub down Poplar way. They got back at seven o'clock, and ten minutes arterwards Peter came in and sat down on his bed and began to smoke without a word. "Had a good time?" ses Ginger. "Rippin'," ses Peter, holding 'is pipe tight between 'is teeth. "You owe me 'arf a dollar, Ginger."

We can be at Orange Villa as soon as wot you can." "Sooner," ses Ginger, nodding. "But there's no need to do that.
