The
old
lady
was
timorous
—
most
old
ladies
are
—
and
her
first
impression
was
that
the
bloated
lad
was
about
to
do
her
some
grievous
bodily
harm
with
the
view
of
possessing
himself
of
her
loose
coin
.
She
would
have
cried
for
assistance
,
but
age
and
infirmity
had
long
ago
deprived
her
of
the
power
of
screaming
;
she
,
therefore
,
watched
his
motions
with
feelings
of
intense
horror
which
were
in
no
degree
diminished
by
his
coming
close
up
to
her
,
and
shouting
in
her
ear
in
an
agitated
,
and
as
it
seemed
to
her
,
a
threatening
tone
—
‘
Missus
!
’
Now
it
so
happened
that
Mr
.
Jingle
was
walking
in
the
garden
close
to
the
arbour
at
that
moment
.
He
too
heard
the
shouts
of
‘
Missus
,
’
and
stopped
to
hear
more
.
There
were
three
reasons
for
his
doing
so
.
In
the
first
place
,
he
was
idle
and
curious
;
secondly
,
he
was
by
no
means
scrupulous
;
thirdly
,
and
lastly
,
he
was
concealed
from
view
by
some
flowering
shrubs
.
So
there
he
stood
,
and
there
he
listened
.
‘
Missus
!
’
shouted
the
fat
boy
.
‘
Well
,
Joe
,
’
said
the
trembling
old
lady
.
‘
I
’
m
sure
I
have
been
a
good
mistress
to
you
,
Joe
.
You
have
invariably
been
treated
very
kindly
.
You
have
never
had
too
much
to
do
;
and
you
have
always
had
enough
to
eat
.
’
This
last
was
an
appeal
to
the
fat
boy
’
s
most
sensitive
feelings
.
He
seemed
touched
,
as
he
replied
emphatically
—
‘
I
knows
I
has
.
’
‘
Then
what
can
you
want
to
do
now
?
’
said
the
old
lady
,
gaining
courage
.
‘
I
wants
to
make
your
flesh
creep
,
’
replied
the
boy
.
This
sounded
like
a
very
bloodthirsty
mode
of
showing
one
’
s
gratitude
;
and
as
the
old
lady
did
not
precisely
understand
the
process
by
which
such
a
result
was
to
be
attained
,
all
her
former
horrors
returned
.
