Edward Silk, a young man of forlorn aspect, who combined in his person the offices of messenger, cleaner, and office-boy to the firm. He brought in some letters, and placing them on Mr. Swann's desk retired. "There's another," said the latter, as the door closed. "His complaint is Amelia Kybird, and he's got it badly. She's big enough to eat him, but I believe that they are engaged.
I s'pose young Teddy'll be quite the gentleman now, and 'e'll be able to marry who 'e likes." Mr. Kybird thrust his handkerchief into his tail-pocket, and all the father awoke within him. "Ho, will 'e?" he said, with fierce sarcasm. "Ho, indeed! And wot about my daughter? I 'ave 'eard of such things as breach o' promise. Before Mr. Teddy gets married 'e's got to 'ave a few words with me."
Kybird shook his head over the idea that there would soon be one open-handed gentleman the less in a world which was none too full of them. "We've all got to go some day," observed Mr. Kybird, philosophically. "'Ow's that cough o' yours getting on, Nat?" Mr.
"She can get home alone all right," he whispered. Miss Nugent drew herself up disdainfully; Dr. Murchison, looking scandalized at his brusqueness, hastened to the rescue. "As a medical man," he said, with a considerable appearance of gravity, "I don't think that Mrs. Kybird ought to go home alone." "Think not?" inquired Hardy, grimly. "Certain of it," breathed the doctor.
"Wot was it?" demanded the other. "Nothing much," replied Charles, standing with his hand on the door-knob, "but I wouldn't believe it of you; I said I couldn't." "Wot was it?" insisted Mr. Kybird. "Why, they said you once gave a man a fair price for a pair of trousers," said the barman, indignantly. He closed the door behind him softly, and Mr.

Kybird, "she'd I don't know wot she wouldn't do. That's 'er pride; but I've got my pride too; the pride of a father's 'art." "What what's she crying about?" inquired Mr. Silk, in an unsteady voice. "She's been looking poorly for some time," continued the veracious Mr. Kybird, "and crying.
Wot d'ye mean, mad?" Mr. Nugent looked round in perplexity. "Do you mean to tell me that Teddy and Amelia are married?" he said, in a voice trembling with eagerness. "I do," said Mr. Kybird. "It seems they've been fond of one another all along, and they went up all unbeknown last Friday and got a license and got married." "And if I see you putting your 'and on 'er shoulder ag'in" said Mr.
"I shouldn't put a ticket marked 'Look at this! on that coat," he said, severely. "It oughtn't to be looked at." "It's the best out o' three all 'anging together," said Mr. Kybird, evenly. "And look 'ere," said Mr. Smith. "Look what an out-o'-the-way place you've put this ticket. Why not put it higher up on the coat?" "Becos the moth-hole ain't there," said Mr. Kybird. Mr.
Kybird, much against his inclinations, threw in a faint grin, and opening a drawer produced three shillings and flung them separately on the counter. Miss Kybird thawed somewhat, and glancing from the customer's clothes to his face saw that he had a pleasant eye and a good moustache, together with a general air of recklessness much appreciated by the sex.
