'Oh, no they won't, Rushton's too artful for that. It seems the agent is a pal of 'is, and they worked it between 'em. 'Wot a bloody cheek, though! exclaimed Harlow. 'Oh, that's nothing to some of the things I've known 'em do before now, said the man on the pail. 'Why, don't you remember, back in the summer, that carved hoak hall table as Rushton pinched out of that 'ouse on Grand Parade?
Rushton indignantly shook his fist in the direction of the crowd, and vituperated the Hibernian nation, in a manner shocking to hear. Verty was leaning on the mantel-piece, as quietly as if there was nothing to attract his attention.
"Please to mind your own business," said Hetty proudly; "you were engaged by Mrs. Rushton to dress me and not to give me lectures." Polly was astonished and aggrieved. She did not know how Hetty had been goaded on the subject of her past life by Grant, and had fancied that as she had only a child to deal with she could say anything she chose quite freely.

Roundjacket, take this young man up to O'Brallaghan's to-morrow, and have his measure taken." "With pleasure," said Mr. Roundjacket, who had evidently taken a great liking to Verty; "what sort of clothes?" Mr. Rushton looked at the subject of the conversation. Verty was gazing through the window and dreaming.
