But I had no time to think more about that before my father, who had signed the documents himself in his large, heavy hand, was saying. "Now, gel, come along, we're waiting for your signature." I cannot remember that I read anything. I cannot remember that anything was read to me. I was told where to sign, and I signed, thinking what must be must be, and that was all I had to do with the matter.
"Wh-a-t!" he stammered. "Mary Ann leaving you?" "Well, you don't suppose," replied Mrs. Leadbatter, angrily, "as I can keep a gel in my kitchen as is a-goin' to 'ave 'er own nors-end-kerridge!" "Her own horse and carriage!" repeated Lancelot, utterly dazed. "Whatever are you talking about?" "Well there's the letter!" exclaimed Mrs. Leadbatter, indignantly.
But wot I sez is, we'se all a bit o' devil in us, an' we can't be temp'rance ivry which way. An' zo, if not the glass, then the gel! Har ar ar! Good-day t' ye, an' thank ye kindly!" He went off then, and a few minutes later the train came gliding in.
I begin to think I'd like to see Miss Clay. I admire that handsome, dashing sort of girl yes, that I do. All I want you to do, Jim, is to introduce me to the young lady. If her father is a pawnbroker he must have a bit of money to give her, and a gel with a fat purse is just my style. You come along to the Clays and give me a footing in the house, and that's all I ask." Jim hesitated.
They're with Mother Bunch in Paradise Row she have the care of them now. And, listen, father they're going to stay there. Ef you want the boys, you must get round Mother Bunch first." Granger's face grew purple. For some reason, this piece of information was most disconcerting to him. "You're a wicked, ungrateful gel," he said.
"Don't," said Granger. "You're awful when you likes, Bet. You has me down, and you tramples on me. You're a cruel gel, and no mistake." A derisive smile came to Bet's face. "Mother's dead and she'll be buried," she continued, in a dry, monotonous voice. "The money is in the burying club for her, and she can be laid in the grave decent like. Then me and the boys, Nat and Thady, we're going away.
Stripped of his burned rags of clothing, coated with the healing stuff of the merpeople that thick jelly substance which was their bulwark against illness and hurt lashed into a hammock of sea fibers, he had the outward appearance of a thick bundle of supplies. The scout had seen miracles of healing performed by the gel, he could only hope for one now.

Sometimes I wakened the echoes of those desolate old hills myself with a stave of "Sally's the gel," although I was suffering a good deal from my darker thoughts of what the damnable hypocrisies of life might be doing with my darling, and my desire to take my share of her trouble whatever it might be. The sun returned the second week in August.
Now if he rings, I must go in." "Oh, dear, dear," said the captain, in an irritable voice, "what is there to oh, dear, dear, about? You go down and do as Ay tell you, and you can just say, as the ladies do, you know, 'I hope your tea is to your laiking, sir. Go now, at once." And as she went, with hesitating footsteps, he threw an encouraging "Good gel" after her.
