"'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!
"'We went to look for you, ses Miss Lamb, very quick. 'He said you were at the music-'all, and as you 'adn't got my letter I thought it was very likely. "'But I did get your letter, ses the cap'n. "'He said you didn't, ses Miss Lamb. "'Look 'ere, I ses. 'Why don't you keep quiet and let me explain? I can explain everything.
"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.
I just took a peep through the wicket and saw that Joe 'ad taken up my dooty, and then we set off. "I said I wasn't quite sure which one he'd gone to, but we'd try the Pagoda Music-'all fust, and we went there on a bus from Aldgate. It was the fust evening out I 'ad 'ad for years, and I should 'ave enjoyed it if it 'adn't been for Miss Lamb.
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.

Instead o' that I told 'er about the music-'all, and arter carrying on like a silly gal o' seventeen and saying she couldn't think of it, she gave way and said she'd go with me to find 'im. I was all right so far as clothes went as it happened. Mrs. Plimmer said once that I got more and more dressy every time she saw me, and my missis 'ad said the same thing only in a different way.
"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."
"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.
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.
