'Ucks don't know that, and I'm tonin' 'im up to it. . . . You 'aven't put in what I told yer about me tellin' Mr. Jessup as Bill was my brother-in-law an' 'is callin' back to us that 'e'd look after us 'ere." "No." "W'y not?" There was reason for Tilda's averted gaze. She had to watch the tug's deck. But why did her face flush? "Because it isn't true." "It got us 'ere," she retorted.
Then Tilda's father took her in his arms, and told her that she was a real princess. The Grand Cross of the Order of the Black Cat was conferred upon Bobo by Princess Zenza, who also asked his pardon for having treated him so shabbily. This Bobo gave readily. A wonderful fete was held. When the rejoicings were over, Bobo and Tilda were married, and lived happily together all their days.
But here Godolphus interrupted the conversation, wriggling himself backwards and with a sudden yap out of Tilda's clutch. Boy and girl turned, and beheld him rush towards a tall, loose-kneed man, clad in dirty dungaree, dark-haired and dark-avised with coal-dust, who came slouching towards the quay's edge. "Bill! Oh, Bill!" Tilda sprang up with a cry.
"'Enery's broke it off!" he announced slowly, and his voice trembled. "I could a-told yer that." Tilda's manner was short, as she produced the letter and handed it to him. "There go to 'im," she said in a gentler voice as she slipped past the girl. "'E's good, as men go; and 'e's suffered." She walked resolutely away down the path.
She had much ado to keep pace with him. By and by she halted by a clump of willows and seated herself, announcing hypocritically that she was tired. He heard, and came back contritely. "I forgot," he said. "What has become of your crutch?" "I left it be'ind yesterday, in the boat. There wasn' no time to go back for it." "I am very sorry." Tilda's conscience smote her.
