Rare and astonished he was to see me with all my things huddled on and a policeman in the house. We did so laugh afterwards; he said he thought I'd been committing a robbery. But he wouldn't bail 'Arry, and I couldn't blame him. And now he says 'Arry 'll have to do as best he can. He won't get him another place. 'He's lost his place too? asked the mother gloomily. 'He was dismissed yesterday.
'Can you tell me what you want with her? He looked her in the eyes and again grinned. 'Dare say I could if it was made worth my while. She took a purse from her pocket and laid half-a-crown on the table. Her hand shook. 'I can't afford more than that. You shall have it if you tell me the truth. 'Arry took counsel with himself for an instant.
At the adjournment for luncheon the Claimant muttered as they passed along, "There's Toole come to learn actin' from 'Arry Orkins." There was one witness who ought not to be forgotten. It was Mr.
'Arry, 'e looked uncommon thirsty too," simpered Martha, one of the little kitchen-maids; and her beady black eyes twinkled as they met those of her companion, whereupon both started on a round of short and suppressed giggles.
But Rodman was not disposed to renew the association He looked into 'Arry's face with a blank stare, asked contemptuously, 'Who are you? and pursued his walk. 'Arry hoped that he might some day have a chance of being even with Mr. Rodman. As indeed he had. One evening towards the end of February, 'Arry was loafing about Brixton.
'His lodger lost 'is purse the other day. "I'd got two and ninepence, as it 'appened, and then there was more trouble because the skipper wouldn't give 'im the money till he 'ad gone, and 'e wouldn't go till he 'ad got it. The skipper gave way at last, and as soon as he 'ad got it 'Arry ses, 'Now 'op off and borrer the rest, and look slippy about it.
Since Rodman's departure from Wanley, 'Arry Mutimer was living at the Manor. Her husband and 'Arry were Adela's sole companions; the former she dreaded, the approach of the latter always caused her insuperable disgust. To Letty there was born a son; Adela could not bend to the little one with a whole heart; her own desolate motherhood wailed the more bitterly. Once more a change was coming.
Darkness had fallen whilst they talked; they only saw each other by the light of the fire. 'Am I to come and see you or not, mother, when you get back to the old quarters? She did not reply. 'You won't tell me? 'You must come or stay away, as it suits you, she said, in a tone of indifference. 'Very well, then I shall come, if it's only to tell you about 'Arry and Alice.
There's several bars there, and the landlady always keeps cotton-wool in 'er ears, not 'aving been brought up to the public line. The skipper told me all 'e knew about Mrs. Muffit, and we arranged that Artful 'Arry should come down at seven o'clock next night, if so be as I could find 'im in time.
Argument was vain; Richard and the old woman passed to entreaty, but with as little result. 'Give me ten pounds and let me go about my business, 'Arry exclaimed irritably. 'I want no more from you, and you won't get any good out o' me by jawin'. The money was of course refused, in the hope that a week or two would change the poor fellow's mind. But two days after he went out and did not return.
