brandy-and- water 'ot for to settle them dinners
as is no real nourishment In 'em, tho Miss Tred.
wen dd keep on asayin' as 1t was the best dinner
Well them" says, ''no wonder, you're such
weazel OF hgger.b 80 - =
she says. 'pd rather be weaze as isn't nearly
SO nhe 70 pop as a porpose," as / knowd she
meant at me, but wouldn't notice. and was all
false, tor I'm sure she eat a 'arty tea off cold
veal veal and 'am, when we got ome as ! don't CON
slder TOO much on good at night, and altogether
SO ~ proved with Miss Tredwell.
we Vas al pretty well tagged, fur we'd been
on Walking nearly all day, so agreed as we'd go
to bed early, as we was agoin' to Wersales in
the mornin, was jest a-droppin' off to sleep
when card some one a-eroandn and a-callin' in
the next room as were Miss edwells, and only
divided by door from ourn; so gets out of
is it?"
She says, ooh, Tm that bad Pm a dyin,r
So l 'uTries in, and there she was bad enough
with cramps and spavins as made Ter yell agin.
didn't know what to do, but slips on
'hannin' gown and goes down to the parties as
keeps the 'ouse, as lives across the courtyard
there for to ask if they'd got any lot water, as it
wasn't mole than 'arfpast eleven, and as luck
would ave it, thTo' being English, and some
parties q. comm late. there was bilin' water for
tea and when l told the good lady, she says
"0h Pve got a otwater bottle as III be jest the
thing;" and she nils ii up for me, and wraps 1t
up in my fiannin' gown, and upstairs goes all
OF q Jury, and when 'arf way, remembered as
I'd forgot the light I'd lett down below. l
must say as was pretty nigh out of breath alto
gether, and thinks as ] can find my way up,
a-knowin' as there was lots OF lucifers about the
| place. So on goes, and when / got near the
room / 'eard awful groans; says, Law, poor
| thing, she must be in hagony to make that noise
| over it," So in goes all in the dark, and says,
| Here, my dear, this'l do you good, and puts
| the ot-water bottle on Ter chest, as | thought
when eard roar like ten thousand bulls In
| French and a mans voice; so sketches up the
| bottle and Tushes out with it, run agin Brown,
a.pO q
| avin' 'eard me go into the wrong room, as sure
| enough l lad, and nearly frightened old
Frenchman to death, as was only a-snorln' as
took for groans; but the water was 'ot enough
for to comfort Miss Tredwell, as give Ter dose
| of mixture as l always carries about with me,
and stopped with Ter till she dropped OIL and In
| the mornin' she was all right and VERY thank-
full, and don't think as she'll be so full OF jeers
any more about me.
Where we was a.stoppin' was VERY COM
| Portable all but the Stairs, and bein over
looked as is downright dreadful 'ow
| them French do go on with their win
| deTs that wide open, as you can see right
into the rooms over the way; leastways across
the courtyard as our room looked into, and
| glad was to get 'em, Tor the iust night was in
! front of the 'ouse, and get wink couldn't for
| the noise as never ceased, and them buses
| a-thunderin' along, and 1 says to the good lady
as is English too, and looks aIter the 'ouse, and
that obhgin' as l never did, | says, Mum, when
ever do them French get any rest?'
She says, 81 can't tell, for they're at it all day
/
'Yes," says land more shame for 'em to be
a-wolkln' all day Sunday; leastways, more
shame for the masters as makes the poor men
| work, as every one do require rest one day in
| the week;n not as 'olds with them as says as
| you mustn't take no amusement of a Sunday;
| but as to work that's q VERY different thing,
and Pm sure there was Miss Tredwell a-goin' on
about the Papists a-saym' as 1t were their faults;
| and says, you'll excuse me as ave been in
Germany among the Protestants as was all
wOrkin' the same, and as to the theayters and
holl fhDrn pfvN1r ,JuryA AIn..
| any other day.
She says, "As the Prince of Wales didn't
ought to ave gone to the races on Sunday as
| 1 says, You don't know as he did go, for
some say he didn't, and il he did, that's lis busi
ness, and what nobody didn't ought to interfere
1t wrong, don't you go; but" says, you leave
| others alone to do as they likes"
know'd as / we're 'ittn' of Ter lard for
bless you, she went out Sunday evenin and see
| the dancin' along with some others, and no
doubt would ave danced ersef, only nobody
! didn't ask 'eT.
AS was a-sayin', tho comfortable in Paris
| when mentioned to Brown about gon' out to
| where the Wellses was a-stoppin', he took to it,
| and so did Mr.. and Mrs. Archbutt; but law, Miss
ITedWeH she quite took on, and l says to er
| We'll" says, you can stop ere then"
''N hat" she says, ga young person like me-
without no protection" Tor she'd lad a regular
| row with Ter aunt, as is Mrs. Paine, a-comin'
across, as were old quarrel, as was brought
|
| man as Miss Tredwell said as Ter aunt stopped
| from a-marryln as is downright rubbish, for I'm
sure no man in lis senses would ave Ter, as he'd
take all for wuss and none Tor better, tho she
! aYeGot bit OF money, leastways win ave when
| Ter aunt is dead and gone. They lad them Ugh
words, as sent Miss Tredwel into the dead sulks
| so 'er uncle said as she'd better jne our
| party, and so she did, wuss luck. So says
| 10 Ter, Look iere, il you're a-goin' to
be with US, you must dc as we do and not be
a-fndin' fault with everybody and everything,
and II you don't like our ways, you can go
back TO your aunt, as was a-stoppin' out at Wer-
! sales.n
But she says, "Never"
So | says ''Then stop 'ere, come with us,
and that's all I've got to say;" and then she took
| to snivellin', a-sayin' as I'd been as good as a
mother to Ter, illudin' to the ot bottle, as the
old Frenchmsn didn't seem 10 care about, for he
took 'isself off the VERY next mornin' atore
breakfast, tho fully explained as didn't mean
no insults, but he couldn't a-bear no English,
and wouldn't believe as l didn't do it tor the
purpose.
we went out to Passy the VERY next day but
was sich, / do think as | never see sich rain
a-comin'down as was waterspouts.
| Pm sure as Mrs. Wells was glad to see us, and
| we was all put to lodge in the same ouse, and
VERY clean and nice it were; but lad for to go
out to meals, as was all took in another 'ouse,
and good plain wittles, leastways good break
! fast and tea, with lots of cold meat and eggs,
| with bread and butter, as were meal in itself,
| and thing as | relshes. 1t was very cool and
| pleasant and as to that Bore de Boulone it's
| downright beautiful, and the next mornin' me
and Mrs. Archbutt arter breakfast, went for a
stroll, ior couldn't stand that Exhloishun for a
