"Thank you kindly, y'r anner," he said, softly. "I'm troubled about things here, I am. That's why I spoke to ye.
I'm afraid of the old fella, for his place is not in the pen wid that young thing, an' he'll break her heart, or kill her, if he gets to know the truth." "What do you mean by 'the truth, Patsy?" was the sharp query. "I mean nothin' at all, save that in there wild youth is spakin' to wild youth honest and dacint and true.
