She passed straight into the little scullery, where the tray with its contents was habitually left for the attention of Mrs. Lobley the next morning. When she turned again, he halted her, as it were, at the entrance from the scullery with a question. "Shall you be all right?" "With Agg?" "Yes." "How do you mean 'all right'?" "Well, for money, and so on." "Oh yes!"
"Don't forget to hang out the Carter Paterson card at the end of the alley to-morrow morning. I must have these things at home to-morrow night for certain. The labels are on. And here's twopence for the man." "Do I forget?" retorted Agg cheerfully. "By the way, George, I want to talk to you."

As a rule Agg, the female Cerberus of the shanty, answered any summons from outside; but George hoped that to-night she would be absent; he knew by experience that on Sunday nights she usually paid a visit to her obstreperous family in Alexandra Grove.
The worst of the trial was Marguerite's tranquil acceptance of the attitude of her friend. She glanced at Agg in silent, admiring approval. He surmised that until that moment he had been perfectly ignorant of what girls really were. "I see," said George courageously. And then, strangely, he began to admire too. And he pulled himself together.
