Good God, MAN, was that to be refused? Was that to be denied? Were we going to repudinte that? Were we roing to eay, “Yes, it's true you were here. You were all very well whe Were of use to us; that's all true and @dimtted; but now you're tn trouble and you're no use to usi you're in trouble and no use, and you can get hell out of it. we to say thath “You should have seen his face; you should have heard bis voice; you @bould have seen him squirming and twisting in his chair as tho this the very roots of him coming up out of him and hurting him, And I tell You, old man, it was the very roots of him.

It seeme that, if you please, the very next day the girl herself follows up her letter by walking into the house, Eh? Yes, you can well say ‘By Jove.’ In she walked, baby and all. She'd walked all the way from Tidborough, and God knows how far earlier in the Gay. Sabre said she was half dead. he'd been to her father’s house, and her father, that terrificlooking old BMoses coming down the mountain that I've described to you, had turned her out. He'd take her—he had cried @ver her, the poor crying creature @ald—it sb wend away her baby, glso tf she'd say who the father was, ut she wouldn't. ‘TI can't let my Bittle baby go,” she said. Sabre said ft was awful, hearing her. And so lhe Grove her out, the old Moses man @id, and the poor soul tried around for a bit—no money—and then trailed out to them. “Sabre wouldn't tell em all that happened between his wife and him- elf.
