"Yah, go 'ome an' wash yer neck!" shouted Chook, with sudden venom. The red-headed girl stood silent, searching her mind for a stinging retort. "Yer'd catch yer death o' cold if yer washed yer own," she cried; and the two passed out of sight, tittering. Chook turned to his mates. "She kin give it lip, can't she?" said he, in admiration.
We were all moody and shaken, and I know I, for one, was thinking some rather troublesome thoughts. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the Second's whistle. Then his voice came along the deck: "Another man to the wheel!" "'e's singin' out for some one to go aft an' relieve ther wheel," said Quoin, who had gone to the door to listen. "Yer'd better 'urry up, Plummer."
'Yer know, Liza, you'd better tike Tom; 'e ain't a bad sort. She was quite patronizing. 'I'm goin' ter tike 'oo I like; an' it ain't nobody's business but mine. 'Arright, Liza, don't get shirty over it; I don't mean no offence. 'What d'yer say it for then? 'Well, I thought as seeing as yer'd gone aht with 'im yesterday thet yer meant ter after all. ''E wanted ter tike me; I didn't arsk 'im.
"Oh, what a cracker!" cried Bob. "I never had no letter, gen'lemen, and I never see no money. Why don't you tell the truth, and the kind gentlemen won't be so hard on you?" "I am telling the truth," cried Dexter, "It was you asked me to take the boat." "Only hark at him!" cried Bob. "Why yer'd better say yer didn't take all yer clothes off and swim acrost and get it."
"I know there's places," said the aggrieved, but wary Agnes. "But the thing is to be sure an' git 'em. And what would I do, waitin' round?" "Advertiss," returned the friend. "Yer'd have heaps of 'em after yer. It's fun to see the carriages rollin' along, one after the other, in a hurry, and the coachmen lookin' out for the number with ther noses turned up.
Yer'd tell the polliss, would yer!" growled the fellow, tightening his grip; "I'll soon see about that. Here you, Micky, bring that there rope here." The boy struggled to his feet, and came slowly to us with the rope, which the man scanned eagerly. "I don't want to make no mistakes," he growled. "Let's see it. If it's your rope, you shall have it, but now then! d'yer hear?"
With a sudden impulse she stopped and patted his head. "That's all right, Joe," she said, gently. "I was only pullin' yer leg. I wanted yer to do the straight thing by Ada, but I wasn't sure yer'd got a 'eart, till the kid found it. But wot will the Push say w'en ..." "The Push be damned!" cried Jonah. "Amen ter that," said Mrs Yabsley. "Gimme yer fist."
"I've never worked on a steamboat, if that is what you mean." "No; well I reckoned not, but the captain he thought maybe yer had. I tol' him yer didn't talk like no steamer hand. Howsumever we're almightly short o' help aboard, an' maybe yer'd like a job ter help pay yer way?" My fingers involuntarily closed on some loose gold pieces in my pocket, but a sudden thought halted me. Why not?
I've got to catch that ship!" Old Bob wagged his head in slow negation; young William lifted his. "There's a rylewye runs by Woolwich," he ventured. "Yer might tyke tryne an' go to Sheerness, sir. Yer'd be positive o' passin' 'er if she didn't syle afore 'igh-tide. 'Ire a boat at Sheerness an' put out an' look for 'er." "How far's Woolwich?" Kirkwood demanded instantly.
Give it here." "I want to be friends with you, and try to do something for you." "Yes, I knows you do. You've got to bring me a shillin' every week, or else I'll give it yer, so as you'd wish yer'd never been born. I'll larn yer. Give me that sixpence." "Leave go first." "Give's that sixpence, d'yer hear?" cried Pete, clapping his other hand on Tom, and shaking him.
