Tom joined her, and as the captain at last resumed his bat and the game went on, they commenced talking, Liza leaning against the wall of a house, while Tom stood in front of her, smiling with pleasure. 'Where 'ave you been idin' yerself, Tom? I ain't seen yer for I dunno 'ow long. 'I've been abaht as usual; an' I've seen you when you didn't see me.
'Nice thing ter keep me witin' all night for yer to come aht. She saw that he had been drinking, and answered humbly. 'I'm very sorry, Jim, but I went in to Sally, an' 'er bloke 'ad been knockin' 'er abaht, an' so I sat with 'er a bit. 'Knockin' 'er abaht, 'ad 'e? and serve 'er damn well right too; an' there's many more as could do with a good 'idin'! Liza did not answer.
An' the question is if they won't be watchin' the gates by this time." "In my young days," announced the Fat Lady, with disconcerting suddenness, "it was thought rude to whisper." Tilda took a swift resolution. "The truth is, ma'am, we're in trouble, an' 'idin' 'ere. I wouldn' dare to tell yer, on'y they say that people o' your I mean, in your " "Profession," suggested the Fat Lady.
'Well, she don't exactly sy it, but she sulks an' won't speak, an' then when I says anythin' she rounds on me an' calls me all the nimes she can think of. I'd give 'er a good 'idin', but some'ow I don't like ter! She mikes the plice a 'ell ter me, an' I'm not goin' ter stand it no longer! 'You'll ave ter sit it, then; yer can't chuck it. 'Yus I can, an' I would if you'd come along of me.
A subaltern shouted angrily, and a dripping sentry whined from the darkness "'Tain't no good, sir. I can't see 'im. 'E's 'idin' somewhere down 'ill." Ortheris tumbled out of his blanket. "Shall I try to get 'im, sir?" said he. "No," was the answer. "Lie down. I won't have the whole camp shooting all round the clock. Tell him to go and pot his friends." Ortheris considered for a moment.
But it was hard for Polly to secure a moment's privacy. "An' so this is w'ere you're 'idin', is it?" said Long Jim snappishly he had been opening a keg of treacle and held a sticky plug in his hand. "An' me runnin' my pore ol' legs off arter you!" And Hempel met her on her entry with: "No further bad news, I 'ope and trust, ma'am?" Hempel always retained his smooth servility of manner.
"That's what you says, Miss," said Cottingham; "but I reckon what her wanted was what her got from me a good 'idin'!" Having made his point, Cottingham, a true artist, departed at the little toddling run that in kennels indicates devotion to duty, combined with a slippery floor. "I had forgotten about your breaking your wrist I remember about my own, right enough!" said Larry. "What rotten luck!"
An' in case I never see yer again, let me tell yer somethin' that's been on my mind ever since I first met you. If that ginger-headed cat 'idin' behind the bedroom door 'adn't married yer, nobody else would, for you're that ugly it 'ud pay yer to grow whiskers an' 'ide yer face." And with this parting shot she marched out of the shop and disappeared in the darkness.
The soldier proceeded: "Well, you don't know where it's comin' from. 'E's up on one of these 'ere roofs, 'idin', an' you're down 'ere ... exposed. 'E kneels be'ind the parapet, an' 'as a shot at you, an' then 'e 'ops along the roof to another place, an' 'as another shot at you.... You don't 'alf begin to feel a bit jiggery when that's 'appening'...." There was no malice in that soldier.
