"But they would not let me meet my mother, who is coming home from India, so I took all the money out of my savings-box and came by the train without telling anyone." The navvy released him. "From Ingy! That's a long way to come. And they wouldn't let you meet her! It was a darned shame. You're a well plucked one for your size. Can ye stand treat, young maister?
Did you ever hear your papa and mamma talk about spitting? You must have got that from down stairs!" And George had a penny given him. But this penny did not go to the baker's shop, but into the savings-box; and soon there were so many pennies in the savings-box that he could buy a paint-box and color the drawings he made, and he had a great number of drawings.

At all events he had so much to say now, every time he encountered her, that it seemed as if he had been keeping all his thoughts in a savings-box, which he was at last opening.
We had not any money at the time, or we should have bought a savings-box; but lots of people save their money in stockings, and we settled that we would. An old stocking would not do, because of the holes, and I had not many good pairs; but we took one of my winter ones to use in the summer, and then we thought we could pour the money into one of my good summer ones when the winter came.
He had a savings-box he used to call it his 'book-box' and he would always drop in every spare penny he had for books till he'd got a few shillings, and then he would buy what he called 'classics. They're all so cheap, you see.
