"Afore I gives you these," he began, "I wants to remind yer of the little talk we had t' other night. Each man of yer gits fifty cartridges and with them either he makes Bogova er Hell. There ain't no other stoppin' places. Ye may have thought, some of ye, that once yer rifles was loaded ye could do 'bout as ye pleased. But t'ain't so. Jus' behin' you there'll march one hundred men from the hills.
Well, there's one thing, t'ain't on'y the pore what's sufferin' this time; there'll be a lot of rich people dead afore mornin'. A pal of mine told me just now that Park Lane was burnin' from end t' end. Good-evenin', sir, and thenk you." As the cab drove away Lennard stood for a few moments on the pavement, watching two columns of flame soaring up from the side of the Strand.
She'd come an' see me an' help me. She was sick the last day she came, and when she was going home she fainted in the street, I heard folks say, I never saw her after that." She brushed a tear from her face with the shawl again. "So as she didn't mind much, or suffer," she said, "t'ain't so bad to think of. She wasn't one to be able to stand up against things. She'd have died if she'd been me.
"No, 't'ain't no danger, if it don't get too hot and ain't jarred. You see, it won't go off if it's too cold, so we keep a little in here and kind o' watch it." The keg was within two feet of the stove. Suppose that a dog or something were to knock it over! But miners do not suppose. Just then a tremendous explosion in the tunnel seemed to make the whole earth vibrate.
And as it got towards the end of the month, the impet began to look so maliceful, and that twirled that's tail faster and faster each time she gave a guess. At last it came to the last day but one. The impet came at night along with the five skeins, and that said, "What, ain't you got my name yet?" "Is that Nicodemus?" says she. "Noo, t'ain't," that says. "Is that Sammle?" says she.
That's quicker for both, and just as easy for you, ain't it?" "T'ain't no use shootin' a beaver, leastways not in the water! He just sinks like a stone. No, ye've got to trap him, to git him. Now, supposin' you was goin' to trap, where would ye set the traps?" "I'd anchor them just in the entrances to their houses," answered the Boy promptly. "Or along their canals, when they've got canals.
"Noo, t'ain't," that says. "A-well, is that Methusalem?" says she. "Noo, t'ain't that neither," that says. Then that looks at her with that's eyes like a coal o' fire, and that says: "Woman, there's only to-morrow night, and then you'll be mine!" And away it flew. Well, she felt that horrid. However, she heard the king coming along the passage.
"Well, give it a rest, then; t'ain't good for yer. And, look 'ere! Any time they don't treat you fair in there, tip us the wink, and we'll come over and do in your 'ousekeeper." Mr. Lavender smiled. "My poor housekeeper!" he said. "I thank you all the same for your charming goodwill. This is where I live," he added, stopping at the gate of the little house smothered in lilac and laburnum.
'Tain't no use, t'ain't no use! Dey'll hab dere will fust er last, one way er anudder, shore!" Without uncovering her head, the sobbing woman turned and walked out of the room, across the porch and down the path to the gate.
They were staying with a neighbour in town pending his negotiations and thither he went to ponder on his circumstances. Then it was that Cindy Ann came into the equation. She demanded to know what was to be done and how it was to be gone about. "But Cindy Ann, honey, you do' know nuffin' 'bout bus'ness." "T'ain't whut I knows, but whut I got a right to know," was her response.
