"Of course, the statement carried its own refutation, as no gentleman could ever demean himself so much as to kiss another gentleman's wife." "That's what I say," cried Miss Nippett. "But Gellybrand foully libelled me," cried Mr Poulter, with another outburst of anger, "when he stated that I only paid one and fourpence a pound for my tea."
Poulter's oranges, when light refreshments are supplied, are cut in eights; Gellybrand's" here the old man's voice quivered with indignation "oranges are cut in sixes." "An unfair advantage," remarked Mavis. "That's not all. Gellybrand once declared that I had actually stooped so low as to kiss a married pupil." "Disgraceful!" said Mavis gravely.
During this time, Mavis became on friendly terms with the dancing-master; the more she saw of him, the more he became endeared to the lonely girl. He was very poor; although his poverty largely arose from the advantage which pupils and parents took of his boundless good nature, Mavis did not hear him utter a complaining word of a living soul, always excepting Gellybrand.
You haven't heard of the rivalry between mushroom Gellybrand's and old-established 'Poulter's'?" exclaimed Mr Poulter. Mavis did not know what to say. "Some people is ignorant!" commented Miss Nippett at her silence. "Gellybrand is the greatest scoundrel and blackleg in the history of dancing," continued Poulter.
