He suspected Delamere of cheating at cards, and knew that others entertained the same suspicion. For while regular in his own habits, his poverty would not have permitted him any considerable extravagance, Ellis's position as a newspaper man kept him in touch with what was going on about town.
"Aye, lass, I don't grumble much at he, but we'm do grow precious owd." "And a great blessing too, Tummus," cried his wife. "You don't hear Mr Ellis complain about getting old."

"Miss Neal," he said quietly, "you can sit there all night, but you can't see the Boss unless you tell me your errand." The girl rose, slowly. "Oh, I guess you all stand together here," she said.
