Next day that's yesterday her mind was clearer, an' I arsked her who Arthur was an' where he lived, if one had a mind to fetch 'im. I got out of her that he was called Arthur Miles Surname Chandon, an' that he lived at 'Oly Innercents. So this mornin', bein' allowed out, I went down to the place an' arsked to see Arthur Miles Surname Chandon.
But she liked the look in his eyes, though the rims of them were red and the brows caked with grit. She liked his voice, too. It sounded friendly. "Is this the Orph'nige? What they call 'Oly Innercents?" she asked. "That's so," the young coalheaver answered. "Want to get in?" "I do an' I don't," said Tilda. "Then take my advice an' don't."
"You're allus the same a mean-spirited feller, stannin' in your children's way! 'Ow do you know who old John's going to leave his money to? 'Ow do you know as he wouldn't leave it to them poor innercents" she waved her hand tragically towards the children playing in the road "if we was just a bit nice and friendly with him now 'ee's gettin' old?
" Are kind-'earted by nature. I belongs, ma'am leastways, I did, to Maggs's Circus if you know it " "I've heard Maggs's troupe very well spoken of. But, as you'll understand, I do very little visitin'." "I was 'appy enough with Maggs's, ma'am. But first of all a pony laid me up with a kick, an' then I stole Arthur Miles 'ere out of the 'Oly Innercents "
I have seen many a fight since I first took to the sea, but never such a fight as this before. It were just a massacre of the innercents, and I don't think a fellow was ever more thoroughly sucked in than Master Condor when he undertook the job." Condor had to go on the sick-list half an hour after the fight was over.
