"There's nothing else for it." "Have you seen Hose?" called a very small woman from across the road. It was Mrs. Anthony, a black-haired, strange little body, who always wore a brown velvet dress, tight fitting. "I haven't," said Mrs. Morel. "Eh, I wish he'd come. I've got a copperful of clothes, an' I'm sure I heered his bell." "Hark! He's at the end." The two women looked down the alley.
