The nurse raised no further objection: and the next speaker was a ragged little boy, with bare feet, and a broom over his shoulder, who ran across the road, and pretended to sweep the perfectly dry road in front of us. "Give us a 'ap'ny!" the little urchin pleaded, with a broad grin on his dirty face. "Don't give him a 'ap'ny!" said the little lady in my arms.

"How much did we take last Saturday, Jenny?" said the barmaid to the sharp little girl. "Seven and fourpence 'ap'ny most of it beer," said the child. "Margaret, I may count the money again to-night, mayn't I?"
But he was back in a few moments, having discarded his broom and provided himself, from some mysterious source, with an exquisite bouquet of flowers. "Buy a posy, buy a posy! Only a 'ap'ny!" he chanted, with the melancholy drawl of a professional beggar.
