'They're a drunken lot of beer-swillers, remarked Slyme. 'That's why they always 'as their meetings in public 'ouses. Harlow made no comment on this question. He had at one time belonged to the Union and he was rather ashamed of having fallen away from it. 'Wot good 'as the Society ever done 'ere? said Easton. 'None that I ever 'eard of.
The man in shirt sleeves gave a laugh and said to Philip: "Mr. Athelny will 'ave his little joke. They do say these 'ouses are that insanitory, it's not safe to live in them." "Sanitation be damned, give me art," cried Athelny. "I've got nine children and they thrive on bad drains. No, no, I'm not going to take any risk. None of your new-fangled notions for me!
The same with the public 'ouses there's a lot of hypocritical folk that is for docking the poor man of his beer, but there's no one that's for interfering with them that drink champagne in the clubs. It's all bloody rot, and it makes me sick when I think of it. Them hypocritical folk. Betting! Isn't everything betting? How can they put down betting? Hasn't it been going on since the world began?
Right off they'd say, 'Send me some up. Lord! what a life that was. The business of it, the bussel, the smart things you saw, moty cars going by, kerridges, people, organ-grinders, German bands. Always something going past always. If it wasn't for those empty 'ouses, I'd think it all a dream." "But what killed all the people, uncle?" asked Teddy. "It was a smash-up," said old Tom.
I am a honest British workman, and employ ment I cannot ob tain. You sit in your com for ta ble 'ouses, and I ask you to ass ist a fellow creature, driven to this for no fault of his own for many can 'elp one where one cannot 'elp many." Then he hove into sight a gastropodous tub of a fellow, with a rascally red eye; and I shrank behind my curtains, for I never court parley with such gentlemen.
"Did you hear of old Tom Murthly dropping dead in the medder last Thursday?" Diana had just heard of the death of the eccentric old man who for fifty years bachelor and miser had inhabited a dilapidated house in the village. "Well, he did. Yo may take it at that yo may." Them two 'ouses was 'is what stands right be'ind Learoyds', down the village." "Who will they go to now, Betty?"
Then you see that great thing there like a great big rusty nail sticking up higher than all the houses, and that one yonder, and that, and how something's fell in between 'em among the houses. They was parts of the mono-rail. They went down to Brighton too and all day and night there was people going, great cars as big as 'ouses full of people."
His voice and dialect left no doubt as to the locality they were in. "Wot yer doin' of 'ere this time o' night? 'Ave yer come to rob some o' these yere 'ouses, or wot's yer gime?" Mr. Leigh was a talkative person, and hastened to explain where they were going, and that they could not find their way.
There was a great fight all hereabout one day, Teddy up in the air. Great things bigger than fifty 'ouses, bigger than the Crystal Palace bigger, bigger than anything, flying about up in the air and whacking at each other and dead men fallin' off 'em. T'riffic! But, it wasn't so much the people they killed as the business they stopped.
"See them three 'ouses at the bottom of the 'ill? The end one's mine." We approached. No sign of the wife. Surely she would be on the look-out for her husband? Also there was a sister and a brother-in-law the latter in a prosperous way of business as a grocer near-by: Briggs had told me of them. Would not they be watching for him? I began to be anxious.
