Oh
,
sir
,
to
do
that
for
me
!
May
God
bl

"
"
William
.
"
He
was
reinstated
in
the
dining-room
,
but
often
when
I
looked
at
him
I
seemed
to
see
a
dying
wife
in
his
face
,
and
so
the
relations
between
us
were
still
strained
.
But
I
watched
the
girl
,
and
her
pantomime
was
so
illuminating
that
I
knew
the
sufferer
had
again
cleaned
the
platter
on
Tuesday
,
had
attempted
a
boiled
egg
on
Wednesday
(
you
should
have
seen
Irene
chipping
it
in
Pall
Mall
,
and
putting
in
the
salt
)
,
but
was
in
a
woful
state
of
relapse
on
Thursday
.
"
Is
your
mother
very
ill
to-day
,
Miss
Irene
?
"
I
asked
,
as
soon
as
I
had
drawn
her
out
of
range
of
the
club-windows
.
"
My
!
"
she
exclaimed
again
,
and
I
saw
an
ecstatic
look
pass
between
her
and
a
still
smaller
girl
with
her
,
whom
she
referred
to
as
a
neighbour
.
I
waited
coldly
.
William
's
wife
,
I
was
informed
,
had
looked
like
nothing
but
a
dead
one
till
she
got
the
brandy
.
"
Hush
,
child
,
"
I
said
,
shocked
.
"
You
do
n't
know
how
the
dead
look
.
"
"
Bless
yer
!
"
she
replied
.
Assisted
by
her
friend
,
who
was
evidently
enormously
impressed
by
Irene
's
intimacy
with
me
,
she
gave
me
a
good
deal
of
miscellaneous
information
,
as
that
William
's
real
name
was
Mr.
Hicking
,
but
that
he
was
known
in
their
street
,
because
of
the
number
of
his
shirts
,
as
Toff
Hicking
.
That
the
street
held
he
should
get
away
from
the
club
before
two
in
the
morning
,
for
his
missus
needed
him
more
than
the
club
needed
him
.
That
William
replied
(
very
sensibly
)
that
if
the
club
was
short
of
waiters
at
supper-time
some
of
the
gentlemen
might
be
kept
waiting
for
their
marrow-bone
.
That
he
sat
up
with
his
missus
most
of
the
night
,
and
pretended
to
her
that
he
got
some
nice
long
naps
at
the
club
.
That
what
she
talked
to
him
about
mostly
was
the
kid
.
That
the
kid
was
in
another
part
of
London
(
in
charge
of
a
person
called
the
old
woman
)
,
because
there
was
an
epidemic
in
Irene
's
street
.
