'I'll tell Crass to send someone else up 'ere to finish this room. 'I shan't be able to commence tomorrow, because the ceiling and walls will have to be painted first. 'Yes: I know.

In accordance with his arrangement with Hunter, Owen commenced the work in the drawing-room on the Monday morning. Harlow and Easton were distempering some of the ceilings, and about ten o'clock they went down to the scullery to get some more whitewash. Crass was there as usual, pretending to be very busy mixing colours.
Well, wot's to prevent artful dodgers like old Misery and Rushton saving it up and buying and selling things with it, and so livin' without work? 'Of course, said Crass, scornfully.
