Poor
daddy
!
Baby
’
s
daddy
takes
too
much
beer
and
gin
,
and
that
makes
him
somebody
else
,
and
not
his
own
self
at
all
.
Baby
’
s
daddy
would
never
hit
baby
’
s
mammy
if
he
didn
’
t
take
too
much
beer
.
He
’
s
very
fond
of
baby
’
s
mammy
,
and
works
from
morning
to
night
to
get
her
breakfast
and
dinner
and
supper
,
only
at
night
he
forgets
,
and
pays
the
money
away
for
beer
.
And
they
put
nasty
stuff
in
beer
,
I
’
ve
heard
my
daddy
say
,
that
drives
all
the
good
out
,
and
lets
all
the
bad
in
.
Daddy
says
when
a
man
takes
a
drink
,
there
’
s
a
thirsty
devil
creeps
into
his
inside
,
because
he
knows
he
will
always
get
enough
there
.
And
the
devil
is
always
crying
out
for
more
drink
,
and
that
makes
the
man
thirsty
,
and
so
he
drinks
more
and
more
,
till
he
kills
himself
with
it
.
And
then
the
ugly
devil
creeps
out
of
him
,
and
crawls
about
on
his
belly
,
looking
for
some
other
cabman
to
get
into
,
that
he
may
drink
,
drink
,
drink
.
That
’
s
what
my
daddy
says
,
baby
.
And
he
says
,
too
,
the
only
way
to
make
the
devil
come
out
is
to
give
him
plenty
of
cold
water
and
tea
and
coffee
,
and
nothing
at
all
that
comes
from
the
public
-
house
;
for
the
devil
can
’
t
abide
that
kind
of
stuff
,
and
creeps
out
pretty
soon
,
for
fear
of
being
drowned
in
it
.
But
your
daddy
will
drink
the
nasty
stuff
,
poor
man
!
I
wish
he
wouldn
’
t
,
for
it
makes
mammy
cross
with
him
,
and
no
wonder
!
and
then
when
mammy
’
s
cross
,
he
’
s
crosser
,
and
there
’
s
nobody
in
the
house
to
take
care
of
them
but
baby
;
and
you
do
take
care
of
them
,
baby
—
don
’
t
you
,
baby
?
I
know
you
do
.
Babies
always
take
care
of
their
fathers
and
mothers
—
don
’
t
they
,
baby
?
That
’
s
what
they
come
for
—
isn
’
t
it
,
baby
?
And
when
daddy
stops
drinking
beer
and
nasty
gin
with
turpentine
in
it
,
father
says
,
then
mammy
will
be
so
happy
,
and
look
so
pretty
!
and
daddy
will
be
so
good
to
baby
!
and
baby
will
be
as
happy
as
a
swallow
,
which
is
the
merriest
fellow
!
And
Diamond
will
be
so
happy
too
!
And
when
Diamond
’
s
a
man
,
he
’
ll
take
baby
out
with
him
on
the
box
,
and
teach
him
to
drive
a
cab
.
”
He
went
on
with
chatter
like
this
till
baby
was
asleep
,
by
which
time
he
was
tired
,
and
father
and
mother
were
both
wide
awake
—
only
rather
confused
—
the
one
from
the
beer
,
the
other
from
the
blow
—
and
staring
,
the
one
from
his
chair
,
the
other
from
her
bed
,
at
Diamond
.
But
he
was
quite
unaware
of
their
notice
,
for
he
sat
half
-
asleep
,
with
his
eyes
wide
open
,
staring
in
his
turn
,
though
without
knowing
it
,
at
the
cabman
,
while
the
cabman
could
not
withdraw
his
gaze
from
Diamond
’
s
white
face
and
big
eyes
.
For
Diamond
’
s
face
was
always
rather
pale
,
and
now
it
was
paler
than
usual
with
sleeplessness
,
and
the
light
of
the
street
-
lamp
upon
it
.
At
length
he
found
himself
nodding
,
and
he
knew
then
it
was
time
to
put
the
baby
down
,
lest
he
should
let
him
fall
.
So
he
rose
from
the
little
three
-
legged
stool
,
and
laid
the
baby
in
the
cradle
,
and
covered
him
up
—
it
was
well
it
was
a
warm
night
,
and
he
did
not
want
much
covering
—
and
then
he
all
but
staggered
out
of
the
door
,
he
was
so
tipsy
himself
with
sleep
.
“
Wife
,
”
said
the
cabman
,
turning
towards
the
bed
,
“
I
do
somehow
believe
that
wur
a
angel
just
gone
.
Did
you
see
him
,
wife
?
He
warn
’
t
wery
big
,
and
he
hadn
’
t
got
none
o
’
them
wingses
,
you
know
.
It
wur
one
o
’
them
baby
-
angels
you
sees
on
the
gravestones
,
you
know
.
”
“
Nonsense
,
hubby
!
”
said
his
wife
;
“
but
it
’
s
just
as
good
.
I
might
say
better
,
for
you
can
ketch
hold
of
him
when
you
like
.
That
’
s
little
Diamond
as
everybody
knows
,
and
a
duck
o
’
diamonds
he
is
!
No
woman
could
wish
for
a
better
child
than
he
be
.
”
“
I
ha
’
heerd
on
him
in
the
stable
,
but
I
never
see
the
brat
afore
Come
,
old
girl
,
let
bygones
be
bygones
,
and
gie
us
a
kiss
,
and
we
’
ll
go
to
bed
.
”
The
cabman
kept
his
cab
in
another
yard
,
although
he
had
his
room
in
this
.
He
was
often
late
in
coming
home
,
and
was
not
one
to
take
notice
of
children
,
especially
when
he
was
tipsy
,
which
was
oftener
than
not
.
Hence
,
if
he
had
ever
seen
Diamond
,
he
did
not
know
him
.
But
his
wife
knew
him
well
enough
,
as
did
every
one
else
who
lived
all
day
in
the
yard
.
She
was
a
good
-
natured
woman
.
It
was
she
who
had
got
the
fire
lighted
and
the
tea
ready
for
them
when
Diamond
and
his
mother
came
home
from
Sandwich
.
And
her
husband
was
not
an
ill
-
natured
man
either
,
and
when
in
the
morning
he
recalled
not
only
Diamond
’
s
visit
,
but
how
he
himself
had
behaved
to
his
wife
,
he
was
very
vexed
with
himself
,
and
gladdened
his
poor
wife
’
s
heart
by
telling
her
how
sorry
he
was
.
And
for
a
whole
week
after
,
he
did
not
go
near
the
public
-
house
,
hard
as
it
was
to
avoid
it
,
seeing
a
certain
rich
brewer
had
built
one
,
like
a
trap
to
catch
souls
and
bodies
in
,
at
almost
every
corner
he
had
to
pass
on
his
way
home
.
Indeed
,
he
was
never
quite
so
bad
after
that
,
though
it
was
some
time
before
he
began
really
to
reform
.
ONE
day
when
old
Diamond
was
standing
with
his
nose
in
his
bag
between
Pall
Mall
and
Cockspur
Street
,
and
his
master
was
reading
the
newspaper
on
the
box
of
his
cab
,
which
was
the
last
of
a
good
many
in
the
row
,
little
Diamond
got
down
for
a
run
,
for
his
legs
were
getting
cramped
with
sitting
.
And
first
of
all
he
strolled
with
his
hands
in
his
pockets
up
to
the
crossing
,
where
the
girl
and
her
broom
were
to
be
found
in
all
weathers
.
Just
as
he
was
going
to
speak
to
her
,
a
tall
gentleman
stepped
upon
the
crossing
.
He
was
pleased
to
find
it
so
clean
,
for
the
streets
were
muddy
,
and
he
had
nice
boots
on
;
so
he
put
his
hand
in
his
pocket
,
and
gave
the
girl
a
penny
.
But
when
she
gave
him
a
sweet
smile
in
return
,
and
made
him
a
pretty
courtesy
,
he
looked
at
her
again
,
and
said
:
