"Was you a-lookin' for somebody, ma'am?" Miss Laura turned her sweet old face toward the other, Meg-Laundress, and answered, "Yes, for one, Captain Simon Beck. A boy told me this tiny place was where he lives though it doesn't seem possible any one could really live in so small a room and it's empty now, anyway. Do you know where he is?" "Off a-singin' likely. He mostly is, this time o' day."
All they have to do is to set still an' sing an' flap their wings. Huh! I know." Nancy spoke with the conviction of an eyewitness, and for a time her playmate was silenced. Then, as Bonny had now grown quiet and gave her an opportunity, Glory demanded: "How can you know? You hain't never been there. Nobody hasn't. An' you go ask Meg-Laundress. Good-bye. Don't be mad.
Crossing to the basement of Meg-Laundress, he made some inquiries concerning the Becks and was told all which that talkative woman knew or suspected. "An' none of us in the Lane ever looks to see him back, sir, an' that's the fact. But whatever's to become o' his little girl, when she finds out, land knows," she concluded.
Then, waiting just long enough to lock the tiny door and hide the key in its accustomed place, so that if the captain came home before she did he could let himself in, she started down the Lane, running at highest speed with Bo'sn keeping pace. So running, she passed the basement window where Meg-Laundress was rubbing away at her tub full of clothes and tossed that good woman a merry kiss.
