Chickens, you know sir. Now, you're
a mate lookin' for a berth and I'm a
cove you've picked up and taken a
fancy to. That's the part Of the
fairy tale they'll find it very difficult
to believe. Here's Mrs. Podford
comm to the door," he added under
his breath, a moment afterwards ex-
claiming aloud with kind Of abat-
ed joy: ''Why, Mrs. Podford, 'ere you
are, and lookin' as bloomin' as ever!
Declare I thought it was Miss Betsy
agrowed up. There's no change in
you, ma'am, as the cabman said when
the gent gave him a bad 'alf-sover-
eign. This gentleman, wants a room:
and I wants little useful occupation;
so, if you can put him UP, and take
me on for a bit as 'ead cook and
bottle-washer, nuss and general man
servant, why, now's the time to strike
a bargain as will suit both parties"
1t was a bargain that was very
quickly and easily struck. Ronald
was shown to a small but clean room
at the top of the house, and Smith
ers, with a wink of satisfaction at his
master, descended to the basement,
where, judging by the shrill cries Of
JOY from Mrs. Podford's offspring, he
was more than welcome.
