"Hu sh be aisy now. There's Tom. He's ears for everything, and eyes like a cat." "What do I care for Tom?" "And father'll be coming in. Be aisy, I tell you. I won't now, Mr. Aby; and that's enough. You'll break the bottle." "D -the bottle. That's smashed hany way. Come, Fan, what's a kiss among friends?" "Cock you up with kisses, indeed! how bad you are for dainties! There; do you hear that?
One for Mr. Backhouse, one for Mrs. Backhouse, and one for Becky. There's none for you, Tiza." "Nor none for Becky neither," answered Tiza shortly. "Father'll want two. Becky and me'll get bread and dripping." "Well, come along, Tiza, let's take them in." "No, you take them," said Tiza. "Mother won't want to see me no more, and father'll perhaps be coming in."
At any rate, Micklethwaite tells me the poor old father'll have to pay up a couple of hundred pound to the insurance company: and how on earth he's ever to do it I don't know, for to my certain knowledge the rent of the shop is in arrears half-a-year already.
There's many another man 'ud hanker more than he does. He's the best of husbands." "Oh, I know," said Priscilla, smiling sarcastically, "I know the way o' wives; they set one on to abuse their husbands, and then they turn round on one and praise 'em as if they wanted to sell 'em. But father'll be waiting for me; we must turn now."
Oh, she did look funny!" Milly couldn't help laughing too, till she remembered all that Mrs. Backhouse had been saying. "Oh, but, Tiza, Mrs. Backhouse says your father won't have anything for his supper. Aren't you sorry you spoilt his supper?" "Yis," said Tiza, quickly. "I know father'll beat me, he said he would next time I vexed mother."
Something requiring a deal of thought was passing through the boy's mind just then. "They shall have a Christmas!" he muttered, "I know father'll let me."
Your father'll have to come around....I only hope he lets you stay with me long enough to teach you some business sense and something about running a plant. I'll pay you enough to support you and this girl of yours but you'll earn it. When you earn more you'll get it...Sounds reasonable." "I I can't thank you enough." "Report for work day after to-morrow, then. You're a man out of a job.
'Father'll be home to-night, Polly, she said 'keep up heart, Poll dear father'll be home to-night, and he'll make everything happy again. Nothing could have been more tender than Miss Helen's voice, it would have moved anybody. But there was never a sound nor an answer from inside the room, and just then Miss Firefly and Master Bunny came rushing up the stairs as if they were half mad.
"Yes, the sea! the sea!" shouted Olly, careering round the room again; "we'll have buckets and spades, and we'll paddle and catch crabbies, and wet our clothes, and have funny shoes, just like Cromer. And father'll teach me to swim he said he would next time." "No," said Mrs. Norton, for that was the name of Milly's and Oliver's mother. "No, we are not going to the sea this summer.
"Oh, what oh, what will your father say, Miss Edgarton?" "What will Father say?" drawled little Eve Edgarton. Thuddingly she set down the empty beef-jar. "Oh, Father'll say: What in creation is Eve out trying to save to-night? A dog? A cat? A three-legged deer?" "Well, what do you expect to save?" quizzed Barton a bit tartly. "Just you," acknowledged little Eve Edgarton without enthusiasm.
