As the procession started, all on board waved their caps and broke out singing. They were Cornish-men and knew no music-hall songs "It's a long way to Tipperary" or anything of the sort. Led by a fugleman in the first brake, they started singing it in fine harmonies "He's the Lily of the Valley, O my soul!"
She blushed rosily when Jack made fervent love to her; acquiesced confusedly when he told her she must give up the music-hall stage, and seemed to take happily to the idea of a quiet, uneventful life as Mrs. Jack Chetwynd. They took a small house in Camberwell New Road.
"Wait till the thing comes up," he said to his friends, in a great central music-hall conference in which thousands participated, and when the matter of ways and means to defeat the venal aldermen was being discussed. "We have Mr. Cowperwood in a corner, I think.
Deciding against it, he made his way to Piccadilly Circus and chose a music-hall that advertised a world-famous comedian. He heard him and came out, still laughing to himself, and then he walked down Piccadilly to Hyde Park Corner, and stood for a minute looking up Park Lane. Hilda ought to come down, he said to himself amusedly.

"Simply enough," replied Aspel, with an attempt to look indifferent and easy, in which he was only half-successful "I went into a music-hall one night and got into a row with a drunk man who insulted me. That's how I came by my damaged face. Then about two weeks ago a fellow picked my pocket.
