We made up to gang thegither when we had saved the screw. She had a beau, but I raither think it's no' wi' him she's awa'; Liz could watch hersel'. But I'll fin' oot. 'Did you know him? Who was he? asked Walter. 'Oh, fine I kent him, but I'm no' at liberty to tell. It wadna dae ony guid till we see, onyhoo. 'If you find out anything, will you let me know? 'Yes, I'll dae that.
This is no place for me, nor for any of us, I know that, said Gladys, quite hotly for her. 'Oh no, you're no'. We must hae oor sixpenceworth. Bide or nine, onyhoo. That's just twenty meenits. Here's the acrobats; ye'll like that. The acrobatic performance fascinated Gladys even while it horrified and almost made her sick.
It takes me a' my time to keep warm as it is. There's a perfect gale blaws in, onyhoo, at the chinks. Jist pit yer hand at the windy, an' ye'll see. Gladys glanced pitifully round the place, and then fixed her lovely, compassionate eyes on the figure of the little seamstress, as she took up her position again on the stool by the fire and lifted her work.
'Noo, whaur wad ye like to gang? inquired Liz, as they shut the outer door behind them. 'Anywhere; it is pleasant to be out, only the air is not very good here. Do you think it is? 'Maybe no'. We'll look at the shops first, onyhoo, an' then we'll gang an' meet Teen Ba'four. D'ye mind Teen? 'Oh yes. Is she quite well? She looked so ill that day I saw her. I could not forget her face.
'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.
'That's a pity, for her luck's turned. You can tell her she'll be taken on if she likes to turn up at the Olympic to-morrow morning at ten sharp. I arranged it for her on Saturday night. 'She said I was to tell you she had changed her mind aboot the theatre, said Teen. 'She's no' weel enough for it, onyhoo. She'll be better in the country. 'Are you her sister? 'Oh no, only her chum.
'I'm no'; I wish I hadna come, was the flat reply, which made the sensitive colour rise in the fair cheek of Gladys. 'Oh no, you don't; you are only shy. Wait till you have seen Bourhill; you will think it the loveliest place in the world, she said cheerfully. 'Maybe, answered Teen doubtfully. 'I feel gey queer the noo, onyhoo. This was not encouraging.
Liz threw off her hat, and, drawing her chair up to the table, took a long draught from the teacup. 'Eh, that's guid, she said, with a sigh of satisfaction. Ye're better aff than me, efter a', Teen, an' I wish I was in yer place. 'Ye'll bide here noo ye have come, onyhoo, said the little seamstress cheerily. 'My ship has come in; but we'll speak upon it efter. I say, isn't Walter lookin' fine?
She says she's mairret to yin o' the officers, but I've never set een on him. 'Is she a nice lassie? 'Oh, weel enough. She's no' mean, onyhoo, but she's gey fast. She was tryin' to get me ta'en on at the Olympic. If she says onything, jist tell her I've changed my mind.
'Ye're risin' in the scale while I'm gaun doon; but I've seen something o' life, onyhoo, an' that's aye something. She gave him her hand, which was quite white and unsoiled, languidly, and bade him a careless good-night. As Walter went out of the kitchen, she was surprised, but not more so than he was himself, that two tears rolled down his cheeks.
