'It might, said Robert; 'but I should think paraffin would do as well at any rate as far as the smell goes, and that seems to be the great thing about Tatcho. But with all its faults Anthea's idea was something to do, and they did it. It was Cyril who fetched the Tatcho bottle from father's washhand-stand. But the bottle had not much in it.
She had taken Anthea's hand, and was holding it very firmly; and Anthea could not help wondering what would happen if Robert should have wandered off or turned his proper size during the interval.
Belloo, sir, Miss Anthea be out o' debt, free, sir, an' all along o' Master Georgy, God bless him!" "Oh!" said Bellew, " er that's good!" "Good!" exclaimed Adam, "Ah, Mr. Belloo sir! it be more than good, it's saved Miss Anthea's home for her, and betwixt you an' me, sir, I think it's saved her too. An' it be all along o' that Master Georgy!
You see how unfair this was to Robert. Because, if the baker's boy had had any right and chivalrous instincts, and had yielded to Anthea's pleading and accepted her despicable apology, Robert could not, in honour, have done anything to him at a future time. But Robert's fears, if he had any, were soon dispelled. Chivalry was a stranger to the breast of the baker's boy.

"Oh, Martha, you are a dear!" sighed Anthea, throwing her arms round her.
Whereupon, very suddenly, Adam appeared, bare-armed from the stables, who, looking from Bellew's radiant face to Miss Anthea's shy eyes, threw back his head, vented his great laugh, and was immediately solemn again. "Miss Anthea," said he, wringing and twisting at his hat, "or I think I should say, Mrs. Belloo mam, there ain't no word for it! least-ways not as I know on, nohow.
'Is there anything else you want to know? it added, sticking its head out of the bag formed by Anthea's blue linen frock, and turning its snail's eyes to right and left. 'I've been here before it's very little changed. 'Yes, but why here? asked Anthea.
