I'm almost sure my little voice inside is telling me so," and Pamela stood for a moment with a look of intent listening on her face. "Yes, I'm sure that's what it's trying to say. Can you hear yours, bruvver?" Duke looked undecided. "I can't listen just now, sister," he replied.
The dark-eyed baby, in his little white fur coat and cap and white fur blanket, looked like a snowdrop by the side of Kettle, who, except his shiny teeth, was so black it seemed as if he had been coated with shoe polish. The After-Clap always hailed Broussard with a vigorous shout of "Bruvver! Bruvver!" and Kettle invariably explained: "He's a-tryin' to say 'Mr. Boosard."
"Sometimes it makes it seem nicer." "I don't think so," said Duke. "It only makes it worser to think of Toby," and his voice grew very doleful, as if he were going to cry. "Now don't, bruvver," said Pamela. "Let's think of what Diana said." "What was it?" said Duke. "Say it again."
"But some might be awake. If it wasn't for that, oh, bruvver, you might run away, and perhaps you'd get safe home. Couldn't you try, bruvver?" and Pamela half raised herself on her arm. "And leave you, sister!" cried Duke indignantly, forgetting to whisper; "how could you think I'd ever do such a thing? If I could carry you oh what a pity it is I'm not much bigger than you!"
It seemed as if his tired baby brain was somehow aware that Jim was gone, for he begged to have him back in a sweet little way of entreaty, infinitely sad. "Bruvver Jim?" he would say, in his questioning little voice "Bruvver Jim?" And at last he added, "Bruvver Jim do yike 'ittle Nu thans."
"Then I'll run after bruvver and fetch the bits," said Pamela, and, not heeding the woman's calling after her that there was no need to give herself the trouble, off she set too, overtaking Duke just before he reached the house. "I've come after you!" she exclaimed, breathless; "I want to get the broken bits and then they'll see what the bowl was like.
"He's caught Tim and put him in prison," said Pamela, and in a terror-stricken whisper, "and now he's coming for us, bruvver;" and bruvver, quite as frightened as she, did not attempt to reassure her. Too terrified to see that the policeman was not coming their way at all, but was quietly striding on towards the house, they caught each other again by the hand and turned to fly.
Broussard ain't got no chickens at all in his cellar, he keeps ducks, Miss Betty, 'cause the water rises in the cellar all the time." Kettle's active help did not end with wholesale lying as a means of helping Broussard. Within a week every time the After-Clap caught sight of Broussard he would shout for "Bruvver."
"Us can see when Grandpapa and Grandmamma are coming in time to run round and meet them at the gate," said Pamela, as they climbed up the bank. "I don't think I want to see them coming, and I don't want them to see us," said Duke. "Sister, I am so midderable that I think if there was a big sea near here I would go into it and be drowned." "Bruvver!" ejaculated Pamela.
"Yeth, and they've all lots of blank for you," said the gentleman in blue breeches ferociously. "Oh, Artie! 'Ush!" the girl cried. "But why have they lots of blank for us?" Bayley asked. Blue Breeches stood firm. "'Cause 'cause the Guard's goin' to fight the Schools this afternoon; but my big bruvver says they'll be dam-well surprised." "Artie!" The girl leaped towards him.
