And when we were working near the bridges, then the "railies" used to come out in a crowd to fight the painters which they regarded as sport. They used to thrash us, steal our trousers, and to infuriate us and provoke us to a fight; they used to spoil our work, as when they smeared the signal-boxes with green paint. To add to all our miseries Radish began to pay us very irregularly.

"I wish he'd thrash Bob Wood's son he's too impudent to live," said Mrs. Amanda Maxwell, to whom Mr. Strout had addressed his remark. "No danger o' that," and Mr. Strout laughed gleefully.

Peacock, waxing very red; but catching the sneer on his companion's lip, he sat down, and subsided into sullen silence. Meanwhile I paid my bill.
"Stop that talk," ordered Dave Darrin, getting a grip on Dan's shirt collar. "If you don't, I'll thrash you! Dick has a scheme. Out with it, old chap!"
