Y' see wimmin's li'ble to fool you some. When they knows you're fixed on 'em they jest makes you hate yourself fer a foolhead. It's in the natur' of 'em. They're most like young fillies 'fore they're broke I sez it wi'out disrespec'. Y' see a wummin ain't got a roarin' time of it in this world.

Missed the sound o' wimmin's petticoats, 'e did." He turned fiercely on his son. "'Ere, don't you stand starin' there! You get 'ome, and fix up for the night. Now then, wot are you dawdlin' for, pig-'ead?" The boy slunk away. When he had disappeared, his father again took up the challenge of Mahony's silent disapproval.
