Jeff asked for an egg and some tea and bread and butter, and then said he would go to bed. "I'll put you along of my boy 'Arry. He sleeps wonderful quiet, and some of them is roughish customers to lie alongside of when they comes in from the 'Lion," said the woman as she lighted a candle.
But it was ten o'clock before Rodman left home. 'Arry had no feeling left in any particle of his body. Still here at length was the opportunity of seeing Alice. He waited till Rodman was out of sight, then went to the door and knocked. It was Clara who opened the door. Seeing 'Arry, she took him for a beggar, shook her head, and was closing the door against him, when she heard 'Is Mrs.
Wot's the matter? "'Touch-touch of ague; I get it sometimes, ses Uncle Dick. "'I want to see this man Finch, ses 'Arry, shaking 'is knobby stick. 'Muffit, my name is, and I want to tell 'im so. "Uncle Dick nearly shook 'imself on to the floor. "'I I'll go and see if 'e's in the fo'c'sle, he ses at last.
After much trouble 'Arry was got to his room, thrust in, and the door slammed behind him. Richard was not disposed to argue with his brother this time. He waited in the dining-room next morning till the champion of liberty presented himself; then, scarcely looking at him, said with quiet determination: 'Pack your clothes some time to-day. You're going to Wanley to-morrow morning.
'I should think you might come to Wanley for a little. We shall see. If mother had only 'Arry in the house, she might come back to her senses. 'Shall I tell her you've been to London? 'You can if you like, he replied, with a show of indifference. Jane Vine was buried on Sunday afternoon, her sisters alone accompanying her to the grave.
They haven't the courage to rise and get by force what they'll never have by asking for it, and when a man does his best to help them they throw mud at him! 'But they won't do so, Adela urged. 'Don't be unjust. Wait and see. They will shout for, not against you. 'Why didn't you keep 'Arry here? he asked suddenly. 'He refused to stay. I gave him money.
My difficulty was that the stream to which the birds had attached themselves was in a deep ravine, the sides of which were so steep that no animal save a cat could have descended it without making a noise and being seen by the birds. Eventually I decorated my topi with bracken fronds, after the fashion of 'Arry at Burnham Beeches on the August bank holiday.
Had the works been fully established it would have been a different thing. Even now he could keep the lad at work at Wanley, though not exactly in the way he desired. But if it came to a choice between a life of idleness in London and such employment as could be found for him at the works, 'Arry must clearly leave town at once.
The bigger children are as a rule extremely kind to the lesser ones. A family of small brothers and sisters who lived near me some time ago were most pleasant to listen to for this reason. The smallest of them, a three-year-old boy commonly called "'Arry," was their pet. "Look, 'Arry; here's a dear little flow-wer! A little 'arts-ease look, 'Arry!" "'Ere, 'Arry, have a bite o' this nice apple!"
She knew her husband, knew him better than ever now that she regarded him from a distance; she knew 'Arry Mutimer; and now she was getting to appreciate with a thoroughness impossible hitherto, the monstrous gulf between men of that kind and cultured human beings. She had, too, studied the children and the women of New Wanley, and the results of such study were arranging themselves in her mind.
