Toy tells me that he, for his part, saw it from his bedroom window the Town Quay wasn't safe, wi' the rocket-sticks fairly rainin' an' the show wasn' a bad show, if you looked at it horizontal; but the gentry on the yachts derived next to no enjoyment from it, bein' occupied in gettin' up their anchors."
Miss Montagu rode him." "Right-O!" Tilda nodded. "Well, they used to come on next turn to mine, which was the Zambra Fambly, as before the Crowned 'eads only there wasn' no fambly about it, nor yet no 'eads. Me bein' 'andy an' dressed up, with frizzy 'air, they stood me on a tub with a 'oop, makin' believe 'twas for Miss Montagu to jump through; but of course she didn', reely.
An' all the while, she was teachin' her boy and tellin' 'en, whatever happened, to remember he was a gentleman, an' lovin' 'en with all the strength of a desolate woman. "This Willie Pinsent was a comely boy, too: handsome as old Key, an' quick at his books. He'd a bold masterful way, bein' proud as ever his mother was, an' well knowin' there wasn' his match in Tregarrick for head-work.
I wasn' bad all the time, I must tell you, sir; but 'tis only lately my mem'ry would work any further back 'n the wreck o' the barque. Everything seemed to begin an' end wi' that. 'Tis about a year back that some visitors came to the 'sylum. There was a lady in the party, an' something in her face, when she spoke to me, put me in mind o' Na'mi, an' I remembered I was a married man.
But these two the man especially had nothing to say, yet ached for words. "Nance Treweek's married," the woman managed to tell him at last. "I was thinking it likely, by the way she carried on last Maying." "That wasn' the man. She've kept company with two since him, and mated with a fourth man altogether quite a different sort, in the commercial traveller line." "Did he wear a seal weskit?"
"You see'd us?" he asked, and, letting his eyes travel along the line, he chuckled to himself softly and at length. "Well, now, I'm glad o' that. Q. he won't never believe." "I certainly saw you," I answered; "but as for believing " "Iss, iss," he interrupted, with fresh chucklings; "a fair knock-out, wasn' it? . . . You see, they was blind poor fellas!" "Drunk?"
"'M. Here Bud, take some o' this. Ah jus' natchelly hate to have you-all die o' starvation." "No, she's comin'. Ah see her now." And Bud ran to meet his wife and to relieve her of the baby. "Hungry, ain' he?" sneered Pink, as he watched his partner's alacrity, while Bob struggled to his feet to greet Melissa. "Say, you-all wasn' wantin' to buy a cow, was ye, Bob?" asked Pink. "Got one to sell?"
The Second Nurse, composed in all her movements, bent over the medicine table. "Garn!" retorted Tilda. "It's easy seen you wasn' brought up along with animals. Look at the eyes of her." "Well?" The Second Nurse, after a long look at the patient, turned to Tilda again. "You mind my tellin' you about Black Sultan?" "Of course I do. He was the one with the bearing rein and the white martingale.
But not she! Went on banging the mat, if you'll believe me, till my flesh ached to see a woman so dull-minded. Of course it wasn' no business of mine, tho' you would think, after living with a man thirty years " and so on, and so on. But when Mary Polly had relieved her feelings, and the two old souls were in the kitchen with the door shut behind them, they came very near to breaking down.
"I'm not," said Tilda sharply. "What put it into your 'ead?" "You told the lady " he began. "Eh? So I did. But that was all flam." He could make nothing of this. "I was kiddin' of 'er tellin' what wasn' true," she explained. He walked forward a few steps with a frown not disapproving, but painfully thinking this out. "And about the Hospital wasn't that true either?" "Yes," Tilda nodded.
