Prichard to this here Towels, or Towers, accordin' as we call it. And, as I make it out, she'll keep her there till so be as Mr. Bartlett gets through the repairs. Or she'll send her back to a lodgin'; or not, as may be. Either, or eye-ther." Having thus, as it were, saturated his speech with freedom of alternative, Uncle Mo dismissed the subject, in favour of Gwen's beauty.
In winter I sleeps in a lodgin' 'ouse w'en I can but as it costs thrippence a night, I finds it too expensive, an' usually prefers a railway arch, or a corner in Covent Garden Market, under a cart or a barrow, or inside of a empty sugar-barrel anywhere so long's I'm let alone; but what with the rain, the wind, the cold, and the bobbies, I may be said to sleep under difficulties.
Sammy Slawson, an' I come to see you on a little matter of business connected with a young lady who's been lodgin' in your house Miss Lang." Mrs. Daggett stepped forward, and unlatched the iron gate. "Come in," she said, in a changed voice, endeavoring to infuse into her acrid manner the grace of a belated hospitality.
A'm lodgin' at Peggy Dawson's, t' lath and plaster cottage at t' right hand o' t' bridge, a' among t' new houses, as they're thinkin' o' buildin' near t' sea: no one can miss it. He stood up and shook hands with her. As he did so, he looked at her sleeping baby. 'She's liker yo' than him. A think a'll say, God bless her. With the heavy sound of his out-going footsteps, baby awoke.
'If the lassie I'm lodgin' wi' is in, Teen, ye can tell her I'm no' comin' back. I'm very gled to get quit o' her, onyway, she said, as Teen buttoned on her shabby black jacket. 'What's her name? Had ye better no' write a line, for fear she'll no' gie me the things? 'Oh, she'll gie ye them withoot ony bother; they wadna bring her abune ten shillin's, onyhoo.
Growther, overcome by the picture of his own wretchedness. "Let's have no more words. Come back every night till you can do better. Open an account with me. Charge what you please for board and lodgin', and pay all back with lawful interest, if it'll make you sleep better." And so it was finally arranged.
"No don't think so; he's a street vendor. Got some China silks to sell carries his pack on his back and looks as if he'd took up a extry 'ole in his belt. Hungry, I wouldn't wonder. Wanted to h'ist 'em fur a glass o' grog an' a night's lodgin', but Cap wouldn't let him said you'd be back and might help him. Wasn't that it, Cap?" this to the landlord, who nodded in reply.
"Enough to pay for a night's lodgin'?" His voice sounded strangely soft from one so large and rugged. It hinted at unused possibilities. But though Amelia felt impressed, she was conscious of little more than her own cold and stiffness, and she answered sharply, "No, I don't. I don't calculate to hire, except in hayin' time, an' then I don't take tramps."
"I would highly approve of that method, captain, if it were possible, but I'm afraid such things are not permitted in this free country. No, if done at all, the thing must be gone about with a little more care and delicacy." "Well then, I'll go down an' take a lodgin', an' write up and ask them to pay me a visit for the benefit of their health." Ruth shook her pretty little head and frowned.
"But I'm afraid you won't get any supper, if you stay any longer with me." "How about your supper, Dick?" asked Fosdick, with sudden thought. "Do they give you any in this establishment?" "No," said Dick; "this hotel's on the European system, with improvements. You get your lodgin' for nothing, and nothing to eat along with it. I don't like the system much.
