But for all that, my dear Frankie, I by no means give you up altogether, and don't you make any mistake about that.

Perhaps you have still a kindly thought of your old friend, and would like to see her.
As he walked through the crowded streets holding Frankie by the hand, Owen thought that to voluntarily continue to live such a life as this betokened a degraded mind. To allow one's child to grow up to suffer it in turn was an act of callous, criminal cruelty. In this matter he held different opinions from most of his fellow workmen.
He greeted the girls kindly, and very soon discovered that their father had been the old acquaintance whom he had known of the name. Then he and Primrose went off together, and Mrs. Ellsworthy took the two young girls' hands. "My darling," she said, "with the single exception of my only son, Frankie, who is at present at school, I am the greatest romp in existence.
Frankie Slade up an' made a remark no wuss than he'd been makin' fer days an' Gene tumbled him out of his chair, punched him good, walked all over him. Frankie wasn't hurt so much as he was bewildered. 'Gene, he says, 'what the hell struck you? An' Gene says, kind of sweet like, 'Frankie, you may be a nice feller when you're alone, but your talk's offensive to a gentleman.
As for the rest, Frankie must have a pair of new shoes; and a thousand dollars at least must be placed on deposit in some good savings bank.

They looked at each other in mutual content and admiration this was prudence, this was thrift.
She dabbed at her eyes with a handful of wet grass, passed her sleeve across them once or twice, and began to talk. "I ... I'm very silly, Frankie," she said, "but I can't help it. I'm better now. Don't tell George." "Of course I shan't!" said Frank indignantly. "You're a gentleman too," said Gertie. And I don't know however I came to tell you. But there it is, and no harm's done."
'We 'as to pass by your 'ouse when we're goin', so I'll call for you on Sunday if you like. 'It's only just round in Duke Street; you know, the "Shining Light Chapel", said Elsie. 'It commences at three o'clock. 'All right, said Nora. 'I'll have Frankie ready at a quarter to three. But now you must run home as fast as you can. Did you like those cakes?

'By Jove, Violet, you look splendid. 'Well? 'The muffins are getting cold. 'Frankie, what IS the matter with you? 'Nothing is the matter. 'Well? She put out her two hands and took hold of his.
He made me so tarnal disgusted with myself that I wanted to find a hole and crawl into it. The trouble was that I didn't know where I could find a hole small enough." "It's a livel head Frankie has, Ephie." "You bet your boots!" "Whin he got through talkin' Oi was ashamed to think Oi'd ever even contimplated makin' a bet." "And I was the blamed idiot that done the betting, Barney!
But once, for an instant, while at work, he heard a voice which could be Mitch Storey's, call "Frank! Frankie!" in his helmet phone. There was no chance for him to get an instrument-fix on the direction of the incoming waves. And of course his name, Frank, was a common one.
