He didn't do more that night because she told him to be'ave 'imself, and threatened to scream if he didn't leave off. He was arf-way home afore 'e thought of the reason for Ginger Dick and Peter Russet giving up, and then he went along smiling to 'imself to such an extent that people thought 'e was mad.
Ginger was the fust to 'ear 'is foot on the stairs, and as he came into the room, in the darkness, him an' Peter Russet started shaking their bed in a way that scared old Sam nearly to death. He thought it was Bill carrying on agin, and 'e was out o' that door and 'arf-way downstairs afore he stopped to take breath.
He dressed 'imself up very slow and careful in Peter's clothes, and then 'e drove 'em nearly crazy by wasting time making 'is bed. "Be as quick as you can, Isaac," ses Ginger, at last; "think of us two a-sitting 'ere waiting for you." "I sha'n't forget it," ses Isaac, and 'e came back to the door after 'e'd gone arf-way down the stairs to ask 'em not to go out on the drink while 'e was away.

He took off 'is clothes very slowly and then 'e put one foot in and stood shivering, although Smith, who felt the water with his 'and, said it was quite warm. Then Lewis put the other foot in and began to walk about careful, 'arf-way up to 'is knees. "I can't find it," he ses, with 'is teeth chattering. "You 'aven't looked," ses Mr. Cutts; "walk about more; you can't expect to find it all at once.
He took it up the third time and started, and he 'ad just got about 'arf-way through when Ginger turns to the landlord and ses "'Did you catch it in the mouse-trap, he ses, 'or did it die of poison?
Gee whiz, I'll never get pinched in that burg again." David turned away for a moment to speak to some one. When he looked again, Dick Cronk had disappeared. "Where is he?" he asked of old Joey. "He's 'arf-way uptown by this time," said the clown quizzically. "Who is he, Joey?" Joey looked surprised. "Don't you know Artful Dick Cronk?" he demanded.
He walked like a man in a dream, but arf-way he stopped and cut a stick from the hedge to take 'ome to little Jimmy. He said the boy 'ad been asking him for a stick for some time, but up till then 'e'd always forgotten it. At the end o' the fust year that cat was still alive, to everybody's surprise; but George Barstow took such care of it 'e never let it out of 'is sight.
