After all, it was nobody's business, and what did anything matter as long as she loved Jim and Jim loved her? Then she grew angry that Tom should suspect her; he could know nothing but that some of the men had seen her with Jim near Vauxhall, and it seemed mean that he should condemn her for that. Thenceforward, when she ran against Tom, she cut him; he never tried to speak to her, but as she passed him, pretending to look in front of her, she could see that he always blushed, and she fancied his eyes were very sorrowful.

'I ain't offended yer, 'ave I, Tom?' 'Na, not as I knows of,' he replied, looking very unhappy. 'You don't ever come my way now,' she said. 'I didn't know as yer wanted ter see me.' 'Garn! Yer knows I likes you as well as anybody.' 'Yer likes so many people, Liza,' he said, flushing. 'What d'yer mean?' said Liza indignantly, but very red; she was afraid he knew now, and it was from him especially she would have been so glad to hide it. 'Nothin',' he answered. 'One doesn't say things like thet without any meanin', unless one's a blimed fool.' 'You're right there, Liza,' he answered. 'I am a blimed fool.' He looked at her a little reproachfully, she thought, and then he said 'Good-bye,' and turned away. At first she was horrified that he should know of her love for Jim, but then she did not care.
