"You'll pay dearly for it this time," said the colour with fine irony.
"Fifth o' November?" said Dickie, sitting down and beginning to draw to himself the rubbish that covered the ground. "Fifth of anything you like, so long as she ain't about," said he, driving in the spade. "'Ard as any old door-step it is.
