At twelve o'clock Crass and Slyme cleared off in a great hurry, and a little while afterwards, Philpot took off his apron and put on his coat to go to the 'Cricketers'. When the others found out where he was going, several of them asked him to bring back a drink for them, and then someone suggested that all those who wanted some beer should give twopence each.
'There's a hundred pound in it, said Jonas, whose words were almost unintelligible; as his face, in its pallor and agony, was scarcely human. Slyme looked at him; gave it into his hands; and shook his head. 'I can't. I daren't. I couldn't if I dared. Those fellows below 'Escape's impossible, said Jonas. 'I know it. One hundred pound for only five minutes in the next room!
'If your debauchery, and that of your chosen friends, has really brought you to this level, returned the old man, 'keep it. You are living honestly, I hope, and that's something. 'Don't be hard upon my chosen friends, returned Slyme, 'for they were sometimes your chosen friends too. Don't say you never employed my friend Tigg, for I know better. We quarrelled upon it.
'Do you believe in this sort of thing, then? asked Slyme. 'No; certainly not. I don't believe in begging as a favour for what one is entitled to demand as a right from the thieves who have robbed them and who are now enjoying the fruits of their labour. From the look of shame on their faces you might think that they were the criminals instead of being the victims.
'Socialism mean "What's yours is mine, and what's mine's me own," observed Bundy, and during the laughter that greeted this definition Slyme was heard to say that Socialism meant Materialism, Atheism and Free Love, and if it were ever to come about it would degrade men and women to the level of brute beasts.
Portia's steps have grown slower as she gets nearer to the door before which Slyme has seen her stop. Her eyes have sought the ground; all along the floor her image may be seen, lengthened, but clear; almost with every step she seems to tread upon herself. As she reaches the door she hesitates, and then lifts her hand as if with the intention of knocking.
Four of the rooms upstairs had been done with the same pattern, and Hunter who was not over-skilful in such matters had evidently sent more paper than was necessary. By getting rid of these two rolls, Slyme would be able to make it appear that he had hung two rolls more than was really the case.
The business in hand thus easily settled, Mr Pinch and Martin would have withdrawn immediately, but for the urgent entreaties of Mr Tigg that they would allow him the honour of presenting them to his friend Slyme, which were so very difficult of resistance that, yielding partly to these persuasions and partly to their own curiosity, they suffered themselves to be ushered into the presence of that distinguished gentleman.
'Even if Misery didn't come, I suppose Crass would 'ave something to say if we did put 'em on, continued Philpot. 'Well, yer couldn't blame 'im if 'e did say something, could yer? said Slyme, offensively. 'Crass would get into a row 'imself if 'Unter came and saw us workin' in overcoats. It would look ridiclus.
'What letter? 'The letter, whispered Tigg in the same cautious manner as before, 'which my friend Pecksniff addressed to Chevy Slyme, Esquire, and left with you. 'He didn't leave any letter with me, said Tom. 'Hush! cried the other. 'It's all the same thing, though not so delicately done by my friend Pecksniff as I could have wished. The money. 'The money! cried Tom quite scared.
