I remembered then that I was to "make as much noise as I could," and quarrel with my supposed lover. "Well, you are a proper young man!" said I, standing up. "How long do you mean to keep me waiting, I should like to know? You think I've nothing in the world to do, don't you, now? And Missis 'll say nought to me, will she, for coming home late? Just you give me that basket men be such dolts!"
M later in the day told me that he had applied to her very urgently for soap and a brush 'as missis wished de lettuce scrubbed, a fate from which my second salad was saved by her refusal of these desired articles, and further instructions upon the subject.
"Child," she said at last, "why don't you do up some bunches, and carry them into Norton on a market day, or any other day, and try to sell them? Why, I've known my missis, when I was in service, give shillings for flowers no better than you bring me day after day, and not as fresh and strong either, by a long way." "Sell my flowers!" The suggestion, coming so suddenly, made Bella gasp.
"SHE! She never licks anybody whacks 'em over the head with her thimble and who cares for that, I'd like to know. She talks awful, but talk don't hurt anyways it don't if she don't cry. Jim, I'll give you a marvel. I'll give you a white alley!" Jim began to waver. "White alley, Jim! And it's a bully taw." "My! Dat's a mighty gay marvel, I tell you! But Mars Tom I's powerful 'fraid ole missis "

The man slammed the little door of the metre, and Mary let go of him. He climbed down. "I can turn it off in the basement just as well," he said, with a grin. I was about to interfere and offer a cheque, but Mary was too quick for me. She took him by the arm, with a "Come, Missis," and marched him before her, with me meekly following, to the telephone in the Angel's study.
"Did you ever," I said, mournfully, "see me refuse asparagus before?" "You're never going to refuse it!" exclaimed Mary, incredulously. "Missis! I used a pint of cream, to say nothing of the butter! Why, it's a sin! It's a mortal sin in you not to try it! See, Missis, let me put a little on your plate. I'll feed it to you like as if you were a baby! I will indeed!"
At last the missis, she goes with a workman an a candle to look for it, an' sure enough they found it in a bathroom. It had been escapin' in a small closet at the end o' the bath, and not bein' able to git out, for the door was a tight fit, it had gone away an' filled all the space between the ceilin's an' floors, an' between the lath, and plaster, and the walls.
Mrs Clowes lifted her mighty form from the stool, shook peelings from the secret places of her endless apron, and calmly sat down again. "Ye rule 'em with a rod of iron, missis," said Jock. She smiled good-humouredly and shrugged her vast shoulders no mean physical feat. "I keep 'em lively," she said. "There's twelve of 'em in my lot, without th' two babbies.
She had been a lady's-maid, and, having been born and brought up chiefly in England, spoke English fluently, though with a slightly foreign accent derived from her mother. "Missis," said the negro, in a low voice, and with a mysterious look, as he followed her out of the palm-grove, "massa him wants to go wid schooner. Don' let him go." "Why not, Ebony?" "Kase I no likes him."
