Clare had been observing with pity how wretched Tommy's clothes were; but when he looked into the pond he saw that his own shabbiness was worse than Tommy's downright miserableness.

"That's what thieves off a baker's cart ought to be! They ought to be always 'ungry 'ungry to all eternity, they ought! An' that's what's goin' to be done to 'em!" "Look here!" cried a pale-faced man in the front of the crowd, who seemed a mechanic. "There's a way of tellin' whether the boy's speakin' the truth now!"
"Yer see there's no mud about and when there's no mud the people don't take any notice of yer " "Oh, dear!" said Willie. "Father'll whack yer. I wish yer 'adn't bought me the bun." "I don't, care," responded the other wearily "He may whack me if 'e likes, it don't matter, you shan't be 'ungry if I can 'elp it. Is father indoors?"

Twigged as it would be you, sir, on account of your sayin' to-night. I've read summink of the ways of 'tecs. Wot ho!" "You seem a sharp little customer, at all events," said Cleek with a curious one-sided smile a smile that was peculiar to him. "I somehow fancy that I've made a good investment, Dollops. Filled up, eh?" "No, sir never filled. Born 'ungry, I reckon.
There it sat, drenched wi' the rain, an' Twitt came out in that slow, silly way 'e 'as, an' 'e sez 'Poor bird! 'Ungry, are ye? an' throws it a reg'lar full meal, which, if you believe me, it ate all up as cool as a cowcumber. An' then " "And then?" queried Mary, with a mirthful quiver in her voice.

"I suppose he's rare and 'ungry?" pursued Tim. "He's starving, that's what he is," said the woman, "and he's hurt his leg badly besides.

"The Doctor told me as 'ow you might be 'ungry," she explained. "Thank you," said Tilda. "I I was lookin' at the view." For an instant she thought of appealing to this stranger's mercy.
