The clergyman was a very kind gentleman, and got up a subscription for the poor babe; and Peggy Burke, when she had her benefit before the circus left Bangbury, give half of what she got as her subscription. I never heard nothing about the child's friends from that time to this; and I know no more who its father is now than I did then.
"I'll come again in half-an-hour," he said then added, just as the servant was about to shut the door: "Which is my way to the church?" Bangbury church was close at hand, and the directions he received for finding it were easy to follow.
"Can you write me down on a bit of paper where she is?" "Oh, yes, sir." And the girl very civilly and readily wrote in her best round hand, on a slip of bill-paper, this address: "Martha Peckover, at Rob: Randle, 2 Dawson's Buildings, Bangbury." Mat absently took the slip of paper from her, and put it into his pocket; then thanked the girl, and went out.
Pull out the ten shillings! for I've made up my mind to appear before the Bangbury public on Garryowen's back, as six women at once. We'd got bits of remnants, and old dresses and things to make and alter, but hadn't anybody clever enough at cutting out, and what they call 'Costoom, to do what Peggy wanted Jubber being too stingy to pay the regular people who understand such things.
Yes! on turning to the last page, there it was written in so many words: "I sent, by a person I could depend on, money enough to bury her decently in Bangbury churchyard." "I'll go there to-night," said Mat to himself, thrusting the letter into his pocket, and taking the way back to the railway station immediately.
