''Ear, 'ear! Now that's wot I call common sense. Several other men, for the same reason as Linden, echoed Crass's sentiments, but Owen laughed contemptuously. 'Yes, it's quite true that we gets a lot of stuff from foreign countries, said Harlow, 'but they buys more from us than we do from them. 'Now you think you know a 'ell of a lot, said Crass.
Several others expressed their enthusiastic agreement with Crass's opinion, and most of them appeared to be highly delighted to think that the existing state of affairs could never be altered. 'It hasn't always been like it, and it won't always be like it, said Owen. 'The time will come, and it's not very far distant, when the necessaries of life will be produced for use and not for profit.
Bert got the pail and the brush, drew some water from the tap, got a pair of steps and a short plank, one end of which he rested on the bottom shelf of the pantry and the other on the steps, and proceeded to carry out Crass's instructions. It was very cold and damp and miserable in the pantry, and the candle only made it seem more so.
It appeared that the other member of the Society, accompanied by Snatchum, had called upon the old woman and had bluffed her into giving them the order for the funeral. It was they who had put her up to getting the certificate from the Coroner they had been careful to keep away from the inquest themselves so as not to arouse Hunter's or Crass's suspicions.
He got one of the light-weights to assist him in his work of colourman and made him do all the hard work, while he spent part of his own time visiting the different jobs to see how the work progressed. Crass's appearance did him justice. He was wearing a pair of sporting trousers the pattern of which consisted of large black and white squares.
None of them wished to spoil his chance of being kept on to help to do the other house that it was reported Rushton & Co. were going to 'do up' for Mr Sweater. Twelve o'clock came at last, and Crass's whistle had scarcely ceased to sound before they all assembled in the kitchen before the roaring fire.
'But of course it don't matter so much about the basement, sir, because it's honly the servants what 'as to use it, sir, and even down there it'll be hall right hin the summer, sir. One would scarcely think, from the contemptuous way in which he spoke of 'servants' that Crass's own daughter was 'in service', but such was the case.
Crass's brake was the next to arrive at the summit, and they halted there to wait for the other two conveyances and when they came up all those who lived nearby got out, and some of them sang 'God Save the King', and then with shouts of 'Good Night', and cries of 'Don't forget six o'clock Monday morning', they dispersed to their homes and the carriages moved off once more.
