‘
What
becomes
of
old
giants
?
’
said
Short
,
turning
to
him
again
after
a
little
reflection
.
‘
They
’
re
usually
kept
in
carawans
to
wait
upon
the
dwarfs
,
’
said
Mr
Vuffin
.
‘
The
maintaining
of
‘
em
must
come
expensive
,
when
they
can
’
t
be
shown
,
eh
?
’
remarked
Short
,
eyeing
him
doubtfully
.
‘
It
’
s
better
that
,
than
letting
‘
em
go
upon
the
parish
or
about
the
streets
,
’
said
Mr
Vuffin
.
‘
Once
make
a
giant
common
and
giants
will
never
draw
again
.
Look
at
wooden
legs
.
If
there
was
only
one
man
with
a
wooden
leg
what
a
property
he
’
d
be
!
’
‘
So
he
would
!
’
observed
the
landlord
and
Short
both
together
.
‘
That
’
s
very
true
.
’
‘
Instead
of
which
,
’
pursued
Mr
Vuffin
,
‘
if
you
was
to
advertise
Shakspeare
played
entirely
by
wooden
legs
,
it
’
s
my
belief
you
wouldn
’
t
draw
a
sixpence
.
’
‘
I
don
’
t
suppose
you
would
,
’
said
Short
.
And
the
landlord
said
so
too
.
‘
This
shows
,
you
see
,
’
said
Mr
Vuffin
,
waving
his
pipe
with
an
argumentative
air
,
‘
this
shows
the
policy
of
keeping
the
used
-
up
giants
still
in
the
carawans
,
where
they
get
food
and
lodging
for
nothing
,
all
their
lives
,
and
in
general
very
glad
they
are
to
stop
there
.
There
was
one
giant
—
a
black
‘
un
—
as
left
his
carawan
some
year
ago
and
took
to
carrying
coach
-
bills
about
London
,
making
himself
as
cheap
as
crossing
-
sweepers
.
He
died
.
I
make
no
insinuation
against
anybody
in
particular
,
’
said
Mr
Vuffin
,
looking
solemnly
round
,
‘
but
he
was
ruining
the
trade
;
—
and
he
died
.
’
The
landlord
drew
his
breath
hard
,
and
looked
at
the
owner
of
the
dogs
,
who
nodded
and
said
gruffly
that
he
remembered
.
‘
I
know
you
do
,
Jerry
,
’
said
Mr
Vuffin
with
profound
meaning
.
‘
I
know
you
remember
it
,
Jerry
,
and
the
universal
opinion
was
,
that
it
served
him
right
.
