Sally caught the smile, and almost immediately came over to a seat by Waymark; and, whilst the others were engaged in loud talk, spoke with him privately. "Have you seen her lately?" she asked. "Not for some weeks," the other replied, shaking his head. "Well, it's the queerest thing I ever knew, s'nough! But, there," she added, with an arch glance, "some men are that stupid "
"I think not," replied Ida, passing her hand over her forehead. "I've been thinking of going out of London for a few days, perhaps to the seaside." "Go to Weymouth!" cried Sally, delighted at the thought. "Go and see my people, and tell un how I'm getting on. They'll make you hide with un all the time you're there, s'nough.
"Well, fourpence: there now!" "And how many can you make in a day?" "I can't make no more than two. Some make three, but it's blessed hard work. But I get a little job now and then to do at home." "But you can't live on seven shillings a week?" "I sh'd think not, indeed. We have to make up the rest as best we can, s'nough." "But your employers must know that?" "In course. What's the odds?
All us girls are the same; we have to keep on the two jobs at the same time. But I'll give up the day-work before long, s'nough. I come home at night that tired out I ain't fit for nothing. I feel all eyes, as the sayin' is. And it's hard to have to go out into the Strand, when you're like that." "But do they know about all this at home?" "No fear!
I'm sure I don't know what the coloured folk of Charleston are coming to, one of them nearly pushed me off the sidewalk the other day, bag of impudence! and the way they look at one in the street with that sleery leery what-d'-you-call-yourself-you-white-trash grin on their faces s'nough to raise Cain in any one's heart."
Then, turning to Waymark: "If you are good, you may bring out a chair and smoke a cigar here after dinner." They had just began to eat, when footsteps were heard coining up the stairs. "Oh bother!" exclaimed Sally. "There's some one else a-comin', s'nough." There was. The door opened, and two gentlemen walked in.
