If the other one comes and won't go away tell 'er I've gone to the Pagoda Music-'all and you'll take 'er to me, keep 'er out all the evening some'ow, if you can, if she comes back too soon keep 'er in the office. "'And wot about leaving the wharf and my dooty? I ses, staring. "'I'll put Joe on to keep watch for you, he ses, pressing the money in my 'and.
"'I'll Cap'n Tarbell 'er when I get in! ses my wife. 'You too. I'll music-'all you! I'll learn you to go gallivanting about! Open the door!
"They're going to amuse theirselves, I expect," ses Sam "music-'alls and such-like." Mr. Goodman shook his 'ead at 'em. "Music-'alls ain't so bad as some people try to make out," ses Sam. "Look 'ere; I took some drink to see what the flavor was like; suppose you go to a music-'all to see wot that's like?" "It seems on'y fair," ses Peter's uncle, considering.
Don't seem to care for it now. I was saying so to you on'y last night, wasn't I, Peter?" "You was," ses Peter; "so was I." "Then I've done you good, Ginger," ses Isaac, clapping 'im on the back. "You 'ave," ses Ginger, speaking between his teeth, "and I thank you for it. I don't want drink; but I thought o' going to a music-'all this evening."
They 'ad on'y been ashore a week, and, 'aving been turned out of a music-'all the night afore because a man Ginger Dick had punched in the jaw wouldn't behave 'imself, they said they'd spend the rest o' their money on beer instead. There was just the three of 'em sitting by themselves in a cosy little bar, when the door was pushed open and a big black dog came in.
"Would you like a row o' stalls to sprawl your dirty carcase on?... Outside, I tell yer, Tommy Atkins, this ain't a music-'all nor yet a pub. Soldiers not ''alf-price to cheap seats' nor yet full-price nor yet for ten pound a time. Out yer go, lobster." The powerful hand of Damocles de Warrenne approached the window and, for a second, Mr. Levi Solomonson was in danger but only for a second.
"It is fair," ses Sam, and twenty minutes arterwards they was sitting in a music-'all drinking each other's 'ealths and listening to the songs Mr. Goodman with a big cigar in 'is mouth and his 'at cocked over one eye, and Sam beating time to the music with 'is pipe. "'Ow do you like it?" he ses. Mr.
"He took 'em to a music-'all that night, but he spoilt it all for 'em by taking 'em into the little public-'ouse in Whitechapel Road fust and standing 'em a drink.
"I s'pose you won't be this way to-morrow night?" he ses, turning to the gal. "I might if I thought there was no chance of seeing you," she ses, tossing her 'ead. "You needn't be alarmed," ses Charlie, shoving in his oar; "we're going to a music-'all to-morrow night." "Oh, go to your blessed music-'all," ses the gal to Ted; "I don't want you."
She did go part o' the way, and then, when she found that Ted wouldn't send his mate off, she came back and, woman-like, said as 'ow she wasn't going to go 'ome just to please Charlie Brice. She wouldn't speak a word to 'im, and when they all went to the music-'all together she sat with her face turned away from 'im and her elbow sticking in 'is chest.
