'You run off 'ome! he shouted to Pennyloaf. 'If she tries this on again, I'll murder her! Pennyloaf's hysterical cries and the frantic invectives of her assailant made the Passage ring.

The family had been ousted some eighteen months ago on account of failure to pay their rent and of the frequent intoxication of Mrs. Candy. Pennyloaf's legal name was Penelope, which, being pronounced as a trisyllable, transformed itself by further corruption into a sound at all events conveying some meaning.
In an instant she had rent half Pennyloaf's garments off her back, and was tearing her face till the blood streamed. Inconsolable was the grief of the crowd when a couple of stalwart policemen came hustling forward, thrusting to left and right, irresistibly clearing the corner. There was no question of making arrests; it was the night of Bank-holiday, and the capacity of police-cells is limited.
Whenever an opportunity had offered for struggling successfully with some form of evil were it poor Pennyloaf's dangerous despair, or the very human difficulties between Bessie and her husband Jane lived at her highest reach of spiritual joy. For all that there was a disappointment on her mind, she felt this joy to-night, and went about her pursuits in happy self-absorption.
