But dear Abel was gone, and his wife, clasping her hands, looked helplessly and hopelessly round the room. Then a gleam of light seemed to come into her eyes. She looked up and went down on her knees. Meanwhile Abel went into a public-house, and, calling for a pint of beer, bade his child drink, but Tottie declined.
In regard to scents, it need scarcely be said that Tottie had had considerable experience of that class which it is impossible to term sweet.
"In goold, of course, sir." Tottie here glanced upwards through her tears. Observing that her mother had ceased to whimper, and was gazing in undisguised admiration at the proceedings of the teller, she turned her eyes in his direction, and forgot to cry any more.
"Thank you, sir," said Tottie, and hurried home in a species of heavenly contemplation of the enormous sum she had accumulated. When Solomon Flint returned home that night he found Miss Lillycrop seated beside old Mrs Flint, shouting into her deafest ear. She desisted when Solomon entered, and rose to greet him. "I have come to see my niece, Mr Flint; do you expect her soon?"
"You must play it isn't snow play it's feathers," said Elsie. "But I don't like it," persisted Tottie, "it don't feel a bit like feathers." "Oh, well, then," said Elsie, accommodating herself to circumstances, "let's play get up now and I'll get breakfast." Just now the door opened again, and the sexton began sweeping the refuse out of the church.
I was at first somewhat undecided as to whether or not I should entrust Piet with a present for the king, but I finally decided that it would be better to wait until I should obtain audience with His Majesty and then personally hand him the gift; otherwise, for aught that I could tell to the contrary, the sable monarch might seize the gift and then do away with poor Piet in some horrible manner, while if the Tottie went empty-handed there would be no inducement for the king to destroy him, or rather there would be the prospect of the gift to deter him from doing so.
"Yes, sir, it's at the corner of the street, Miss Lillycrop says." "Which direction?" "That one, I think." "Here, I'm going the other way: will you post this letter for me?" "Yes, sir," said Tottie. "That's a good girl; here's a penny for you." "Please, sir, that's not a penny," said the child, holding out the half-crown which Aspel had put in her hand. "Never mind; keep it."
"Please, sir," said Tottie to the penny banker, "I wants to pay in tuppence." She handed over her bank-book with the money. Receiving the former back, she stared at the mysterious figures with rapt attention. "Please, sir, 'ow much do it come to now?" she asked. "It's eight and sevenpence, Tottie," replied the amiable banker, with a smile.

She was strangling her mother with a kiss when he entered. "Oh, mother! I'm so happy, and so sorry!" she exclaimed, laughing and sobbing at once. Tottie was obviously torn by conflicting emotions. "Take your time, darling," said Mrs Bones, smoothing the child's hair with her red toil-worn hand.
