“
He
is
,
though
;
and
I
know
him
,
and
so
does
Miss
Coleman
.
”
The
maid
could
not
but
remember
Diamond
,
having
seen
him
when
he
and
his
father
brought
the
ladies
home
.
So
she
believed
him
,
and
went
to
do
what
he
told
her
.
What
passed
in
the
little
parlour
when
Miss
Coleman
came
down
does
not
belong
to
my
story
,
which
is
all
about
Diamond
.
If
he
had
known
that
Miss
Coleman
thought
Mr
.
Evans
was
dead
,
perhaps
he
would
have
managed
differently
.
There
was
a
cry
and
a
running
to
and
fro
in
the
house
,
and
then
all
was
quiet
again
.
Almost
as
soon
as
Mr
.
Evans
went
in
,
the
wind
began
to
cease
,
and
was
now
still
.
Diamond
found
that
by
making
the
breeching
just
a
little
tighter
than
was
quite
comfortable
for
the
old
horse
he
could
do
very
well
for
the
present
;
and
,
thinking
it
better
to
let
him
have
his
bag
in
this
quiet
place
,
he
sat
on
the
box
till
the
old
horse
should
have
eaten
his
dinner
.
In
a
little
while
Mr
.
Evans
came
out
,
and
asked
him
to
come
in
.
Diamond
obeyed
,
and
to
his
delight
Miss
Coleman
put
her
arms
round
him
and
kissed
him
,
and
there
was
payment
for
him
!
Not
to
mention
the
five
precious
shillings
she
gave
him
,
which
he
could
not
refuse
because
his
mother
wanted
them
so
much
at
home
for
his
father
.
He
left
them
nearly
as
happy
as
they
were
themselves
.
The
rest
of
the
day
he
did
better
,
and
,
although
he
had
not
so
much
to
take
home
as
the
day
before
,
yet
on
the
whole
the
result
was
satisfactory
.
And
what
a
story
he
had
to
tell
his
father
and
mother
about
his
adventures
,
and
how
he
had
done
,
and
what
was
the
result
!
They
asked
him
such
a
multitude
of
questions
!
some
of
which
he
could
answer
,
and
some
of
which
he
could
not
answer
;
and
his
father
seemed
ever
so
much
better
from
finding
that
his
boy
was
already
not
only
useful
to
his
family
but
useful
to
other
people
,
and
quite
taking
his
place
as
a
man
who
judged
what
was
wise
,
and
did
work
worth
doing
.
For
a
fortnight
Diamond
went
on
driving
his
cab
,
and
keeping
his
family
.
He
had
begun
to
be
known
about
some
parts
of
London
,
and
people
would
prefer
taking
his
cab
because
they
liked
what
they
heard
of
him
One
gentleman
who
lived
near
the
mews
engaged
him
to
carry
him
to
the
City
every
morning
at
a
certain
hour
;
and
Diamond
was
punctual
as
clockwork
—
though
to
effect
that
required
a
good
deal
of
care
,
for
his
father
’
s
watch
was
not
much
to
be
depended
on
,
and
had
to
be
watched
itself
by
the
clock
of
St
.
George
’
s
church
.
Between
the
two
,
however
,
he
did
make
a
success
of
it
.
After
that
fortnight
,
his
father
was
able
to
go
out
again
.
Then
Diamond
went
to
make
inquiries
about
Nanny
,
and
this
led
to
something
else
.
THE
first
day
his
father
resumed
his
work
,
Diamond
went
with
him
as
usual
.
In
the
afternoon
,
however
,
his
father
,
having
taken
a
fare
to
the
neighbourhood
,
went
home
,
and
Diamond
drove
the
cab
the
rest
of
the
day
.
It
was
hard
for
old
Diamond
to
do
all
the
work
,
but
they
could
not
afford
to
have
another
horse
.
They
contrived
to
save
him
as
much
as
possible
,
and
fed
him
well
,
and
he
did
bravely
.
