They had got quite near the Westminster Bridge Road when Jim suggested that they should go and have one more drink before closing time. 'I shall be tight, said Liza. 'Thet don't matter, answered Jim, laughing. 'You ain't got ter go ter work in the mornin' an' you can sleep it aht. 'Arright, I don't mind if I do then, in for a penny, in for a pound. At the pub door she drew back.
I thought the 'ole street knew it by now, said Mrs. Cooper indignantly. 'Oh, 'e's a wrong 'un, 'e is. 'It wasn't 'is fault, put in Sally, amidst her sobs; 'it's only because 'e's 'ad a little drop too much. 'E's arright when 'e's sober. 'A little drop too much! I should just think 'e'd 'ad, the beast! I'd give it 'im if I was a man.
She had got the offer again, and it only wanted a little seemly hesitation, and the thing was done. 'I should like ter, Tom, she said. 'But d'you think it 'ud be arright? 'Yus, of course it would. Come on, Liza! In his eagerness he clasped her hand. 'Well, she remarked, looking down, 'if it'd spoil your 'oliday . 'I won't go if you don't swop me bob, I won't! he answered.
Well, I don't like ter repeat wot 'e said, and thet's the truth. An' I says ter 'im, "I wish yer'd never married my daughter, an' if I'd known you was like this I'd 'ave died sooner than let yer." 'Well, I didn't know 'e was like thet! said Liza. ''E was arright at fust, said Sally. 'Yus, they're always arright at fust!
'I ain't 'urt yer? She didn't answer, and he took her in his arms. 'Liza, I ain't 'urt you, 'ave I? Say I ain't 'urt yer. I'm so sorry, I beg your pardon, Liza. 'Arright, old chap, she said, smiling charmingly on him. 'It wasn't the blow that 'urt me much; it was the wy you was talkin'. 'I didn't mean it, Liza. He was so contrite, he could not humble himself enough.
'Well, if I come, it won't mean that I'm keepin' company with you. 'Na, it won't mean anythin' you don't like. 'Arright! she said. 'You'll come? he could hardly believe her. 'Yus! she answered, smiling all over her face. 'You're a good sort, Liza! I say, 'Arry, Liza's comin'! he shouted. 'Liza? 'Oorray! shouted Harry. ''S'at right, Liza? called Sally.
'I wouldn't come before, 'cause I thought there'd be people abaht. Kiss us! And again he pressed his lips to hers, and Liza nearly fainted with the delight of it. 'Let's go for a walk, shall we? he said. 'Arright! They were speaking in whispers. 'You go into the road through the passage, an' I'll go by the street.
If you come gettin' round 'im I'll give you wot for. 'Arright, Clary Sharp, I don't want 'im, answered Liza. 'I've got one of my own, an' thet's a good 'andful ain't it, Tom? Tom was delighted, and, unable to find a repartee, in his pleasure gave Liza a great nudge with his elbow. ''Oo, I say, said Liza, putting her hand to her side. 'Tike care of my ribs; you'll brike 'em.
Liza was sitting forward, with her elbows on her knees, resting her face on her hands. 'I wish I was straight, she said at last, not looking up. 'Well, why won't yer come along of me altogether, an' you'll be arright then? he answered. 'Na, that's no go; I can't do thet. He had often asked her to live with him entirely, but she had always refused.
Be quick! answered Tom, and as she scampered off as hard as she could go, he shouted to the coachman: ''Old 'ard; there' another passenger comin' in a minute. 'Arright, old cock, answered the coachman: 'no 'urry! Liza rushed into the room, and called to her mother, who was still asleep: 'Mother! mother! I'm going to Chingford!
