Mrs. Kemp's money always ran out on Tuesday, and Liza had to keep things going till the following Saturday. MISSUS KEMP'S MONEY ALWAYS RAN OUT ON TUESDAY AND LIES HAD TO KEEP THINGS GOING TILL THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY
ery discreet remark, but it set Mrs. Kemp in a whirlwind of passion. She raised herself and sat up in the bed, flourishing her clenched fist at her daughter. 'I know wot yer mean, you ---- you!' Her language was emphatic, her epithets picturesque, but too forcible for reproduction. 'You think I'd steal it,' she went on. 'I know yer! D'yer think I'd go an' tike yer dirty money?' 'Well, mother,' said Liza, 'when I've told yer before, the money's perspired like.' 'Wot d'yer mean?' 'It got less.' 'Well, I can't 'elp thet, can I? Anyone can come in 'ere and tike the money.' 'If it's 'idden awy, they can't, can they, mother?' said Liza. Mrs. Kemp shook her fist. 'You dirty slut, you,' she said, 'yer think I tike yer money! Why, you ought ter give it me every week instead of savin' it up and spendin' it on all sorts of muck, while I 'ave ter grind my very bones down to keep yer.' 'Yer know, mother, if I didn't 'ave a little bit saved up, we should be rather short when you're dahn in yer luck.
