He ain't been wot I might call hisself for the last day or two, and I thought a little fresh air might do 'im good. "Mr. Bunnett just looked at him, and then 'e passed 'im by without a word. "'I wanted to ask your advice about 'im, ses Bob, turning round and follering of 'im. 'He's a delikit animal, and sometimes I wonder whether I 'aven't been a-pampering of 'im too much. "'Go away, ses Mr.
Bunnett. "'Why, Joseph! Joseph! Wotever are you a-thinking of? ses Bob, shaking 'is 'ead at the dog. 'I'm surprised at you! Don't you know Mr. Bunnett wot is so fond of animals? "'If you don't call 'im off, ses Mr. Bunnett, trembling all over, 'I'll have you locked up. "'I am a-calling 'im off, ses Bob, looking very puzzled. 'Didn't you 'ear me?
"'It's the chance of a lifetime, ses Dicky. "'Looks like it, ses Smith, coughing. "'But 'e can't win, ses Sam Jones, looking a bit upset. 'Why, Mr. Bunnett said 'e ought to be locked up. "'He's been led away, ses Bob Pretty, shaking his 'ead. 'He's a kind-'arted old gen'leman when 'e's left alone, and he'll soon see wot a mistake 'e's made about me. I'll show 'im.
Bunnett agreed with 'im, and said wot a pity it was everybody 'adn't got Bob Pretty's commonsense and good feeling. "'It ain't that, ses Bob, shaking his 'ead at him; 'it ain't to my credit. I dessay if Sam Jones and Peter Gubbins, and Charlie Stubbs and Dicky Weed 'ad been brought up the same as I was they'd 'ave been a lot better than wot I am. "He bid Mr.
Bunnett was passing and Peter Gubbins walked past 'is house one day with ole Mrs. Broad's cat in 'is arms. A bad-tempered old cat it was, and, wot with Peter kissing the top of its 'ead and calling of it Tiddleums, it nearly went out of its mind. "The fust time Mr. Bunnett see Bob Pretty was about a week arter he'd offered that gold watch.
Bunnett made a little speech when 'e gave it to 'im wot he couldn't remember, and wot he wouldn't repeat if 'e could. "He came up to this 'ere Cauliflower public-'ouse the same night for the money 'e had won, and Bill Chambers made another speech, but, as Smith the landlord put' in outside for it, it didn't do Bob Pretty the good it ought to ha' done."
She ain't strong, pore thing, and it's better than wasting time and money up at the "Cauliflower." "He 'ad a lot o' talk with Mr. Bunnett for the next day or two, and when 'e went round with the toad on the third day as lively and well as possible the old gen'leman said it was a miracle. And so it would ha' been if it had been the same toad.
"He threw down a biskit so sudden that Joseph, thinking it was a stone, went off like a streak o' lightning with 'is tail between 'is legs and yelping his 'ardest. Most men would ha' looked a bit foolish, but Bob Pretty didn't turn a hair. "'Ain't it wunnerful the sense they've got, he ses to Mr. Bunnett, wot was still staring arter the dog. "'Sense? ses the old gen'leman.
Call 'im off! "Bob said arterwards that 'e was foolish enough to lose 'is presence o' mind for a moment, and instead o' doing anything he stood there gaping with 'is mouth open. "'Call 'im off! screams Mr. Bunnett, trying to push the dog away. 'Why don't you call him off? "'Don't move, ses Bob Pretty in a frightened voice. 'Don't move, wotever you do. "'Call him off! Take 'im away! ses Mr.
Bunnett; 'I've'eard all about you. Go away at once. "'Heard all about me? ses Bob Pretty, looking puzzled. 'Well, you can't 'ave heard no 'arm, that's one comfort. "'I've been told your true character, ses the old gen'leman, very firm. 'And I'm ashamed that I should have let myself be deceived by you. I hope you'll try and do better while there is still time.
