starin' at 'em. rs certingly amt got nothin' I
like 'em IN the way of heldmales not all over |
the place; tho l must say as them French |
women 'as way with them as Is uncom- |
mon takiu', end dresses well even in their shops,
as 1t must take 'arf the mornn for TO do their
'air.
don't think as ever I did enjoy anythink
more than that porter and me and Mrs. Arch
butt was a-settia, 'avin' OF our joke over some OF
them parties, and ] says to Mrs. Archbutt, ]
says, ''She was in the way when noses was paid
out" uludin to party with, 1 do think, the
longest nose as ever / did see a-protrudin'
from ,uman counting'ouse; "and," / says,
never see fifty no more. And" says, ''do look
at the old guy as is with Ter, with rs false teeth,
and 'air and whiskers dyed.n
was a-runnlu' on, and Mrs. Archbutt says TO
me, What one you are to 60 on !"
says, 81 can't a.bear to see old fools, for
| they're the worst of FOOLS"
II that old woman with the nose did't turn on
| me and say, in English, as 81 were disgrace TO
my country, a-settin' there abusin' people,"
thought should ave died, for if she wasn't
English, and I'm too.
It's lucky as I'd paid for the porter for 1
| jumps up and ur1ies off a leavin' Mrs. Archbutt
for to foller; and if that spitelul old feller with
| the dyed air didn't tell waiter as I'D bolted
| without payin', as come arter me, and would
| ave ended unpleasant, only the other waiter as
| ] lad paid spoke up like man.
| So give it that old scarecrow well, and says
| to I'm, "l've good mind to sple your beauty
| for you, and knock some OF them false teeth
| Gown your story-tellm' throat"
Poor Mrs. ArchOutt, she says, ooh, pray,
don't, Mrs. Brown"
mum, not if l knows itn But pretty near was,
| for II them niggers on the camels didn't come
by, aud If it adn't been as one OF them chaps in
cooked 'ats pulled me sharp out OF the way, do
believe as l should ave been pulVerZed like the
dust under their ieet.
When come to myself, look round for Mrs.
| Archbutt and if she wasn't disappeared, as
| thought very unfeelin' for to leave me like
that; but says, "No doubt they amt none on
'em far off," So walks all round thTo' them
relreshmentplaces a.looking' for Brown, but
not westment on i'm wasn't visible nowheres.
So / stops one of them police, and says
to i'm, brown passy ici," as l know'd
was French for pass here" He stares
at me, and then jabbers somethink about
SO he calls one OF them interpreter
chaps, as come up and says, you want Pascy?"
says, mo, can passy myself, but have you
see anythink of my good gentleman in the name
OF Brown, as is a tine-hggered man. III a dark
surtoO, with d1ab pants, and bend in lis back
like magistrate, as many las often said to me,
''Mrs. Brown, mum, to ioller your good gentle
man, any one would take i'm for royal family
behind, as is noble forehead with COM
mandin' nose, and any one could tell in q
instant among thousand, with a eye like
'awk a-beamin' on YOU" So l says, Fave you

why" says, "'ere you've been and lost mo
for ours, and as cool as tho I'd never lost sight
on you."
'Oh,n he says 'I know'd you turn up. Like
a bad shillin', sure to come back" l don't think
as ever did see such q conquest of people, and
'busses, and cabs, and coaches, all a.strugglin'
for to get away and it's wonder as they wasn't
all smashed up together.
says, Brown, owever are we to get 'ome ?"
"Oh," he says, ''all right, there's cab been
telegraphed for, as Mrs. Wells and Mrs. Arch
