But I liked it. P'raps it was lies, but it was cheerfle lies that 'elps yer. What I ses is if THINGS ain't cheerfle, PEOPLE's got to be to fight it out. The women in the 'ouse larft fit to kill theirselves when she fust come 'ome limpin' an' talked to 'em about what the lidy told 'er. But arter a bit they liked to 'ear 'er just along o' the cheerfleness. Said it was like a pantermine.
"When she wakes in the mornin' she ses to 'erself, 'Good things is goin' to come to-day cheerfle things. When there's a knock at the door she ses, 'Somethin' friendly's comin' in. An' when Drunken Bet's makin' a row an' ragin' an' tearin' an' threatenin' to 'ave 'er eyes out of 'er fice, she ses, 'Lor, Bet, yer don't mean a word of it yer a friend to every woman in the 'ouse. When she don't know which way to turn, she stands still an' ses, 'Speak, Lord, thy servant 'eareth, an' then she does wotever next comes into 'er mind an' she says it's allus the right answer.
But after taking a few steps farther she spoke again. "I 'm cheerfler than most of 'em," she elaborated. "If yer born cheerfle yer can stand things. When I gets a job nussin' women's bibies they don't cry when I 'andles 'em. I gets many a bite an' a copper 'cos o' that. Folks likes yer. I shall get on better than Polly when I'm old enough to go on the street."
"'T wasn't nothin' much," Glad broke in deprecatingly, "on'y I'd got somethin' to eat an' a bit o' fire." "An' she made me go an' 'ave a 'earty meal, an' set an' warm meself. An' she was that cheerfle an' full o' pluck, she 'elped me to forget about the things that was makin' me into a madwoman. SHE was the answer same as the book 'ad promised. They comes in different wyes the answers does.
She doesn't even know who she was." The remark was tossed to Dart. "Never even 'eard 'er name," with unabated cheer said Miss Montaubyn. "She come an' she went an' me too low to do anything but lie an' look at 'er and listen. An' 'Which of us two is mad? I ses to myself. But I lay thinkin' and thinkin' an' it was so cheerfle I couldn't get it out of me 'ead nor never 'ave since."
