"And to-morrow is Sunday," said Devilsdust solemnly. "And the next day is the blackest day in all the week," said Julia. "When I hear the factory bell on Monday morning, I feel just the same as I did when I crossed with my uncle from Liverpool to Seaton to eat shrimps. Wasn't I sick coming home, that's all!" "You won't hear that bell sound next Monday," said Devilsdust solemnly.
Mowbray was in a state of great excitement. It was Saturday evening: the mills were closed; the news had arrived of the arrest of the Delegate. "Here's a go!" said Dandy Mick to Devilsdust. "What do you think of this?" "It's the beginning of the end," said Devilsdust.
"Every man had his key given him this evening half-a-crown a week round deducted from wages for rent. Jim Plastow told them he lodged with his father and didn't want a house; upon which they said he must let it." "Their day will come," said Devilsdust, thoughtfully. "I really think that those Shuffle and Screws are worse even than Truck and Trett.
"'Twould take six clergymen any day to settle him. He knows the principles of society by heart. But Gerard gets hold of the passions." "And that's the way to do the trick," said Dandy Mick. "I wish he would say march, and no mistake." "There is a great deal to do before saying that," said Devilsdust.
Fancy preferring a piece of iron or wood to your own flesh and blood. And they call that Christianlike!" "It is Saturday," said Julia, "sure enough; and if I don't lie in bed to-morrow till sunset, may I get a bate ticket for every day for a week to come." "Well, go it my hearty," said Mick to Devilsdust. "It is Saturday, that they have all agreed."
"I wonder if Warner will speak to-night," said Dandy Mick to Devilsdust. "He can't pitch it in like Gerard," replied his companion. "But he is a trump in the tender," said the Dandy. "The Handlooms looks to him as their man, and that's a powerful section." "If you come to the depth of a question, there's nothing like Stephen Morley," said Devilsdust.
I like news to go round like a fly-wheel." "Well," said Devilsdust, dryly, "this is Saturday, young women, and Mrs Carey too, you will not deny that." "I should think not," said Mrs Carey, "by the token I kept a stall for thirty year in our market, and never gave it up till this summer, which makes me always think that, though I have seen many ups and downs, this "

And what then is the news?" "Labour is triumphant in Lancashire," said Devilsdust with bitter solemnity. "The deuce it is," said Chaffing Jack. "What, have they raised wages?" "No," said Devilsdust, "but they have stopped the mills." "That won't mend matters much," said Jack with a puff. "Won't it?" "The working classes will have less to spend than ever."
"Chaffing Jack be hanged," said Mick. "Such a slow coach won't do in these high-pressure times. We are going to do the trick and no mistake. There shan't be a capitalist in England who can get a day's work out of us, even if he makes the operatives his junior partners." "I never heard of such things," said Mrs Carey in amazement. "It's all booked, though," said Devilsdust.
