Liza was really very dishonest, but she felt so happy this morning that she loved the whole world, and of course Tom came in with the others. She looked very kindly at him, and he was so affected that a great lump came in his throat and he could not speak. Liza's eyes turned to Jim's house, and she saw coming out of the door a girl of about her own age; she fancied she saw in her some likeness to Jim. 'Say, Tom,' she asked, 'thet ain't Blakeston's daughter, is it?' 'Yus thet's it.' 'I'll go an' speak to 'er,' said Liza, leaving Tom and going over the road. 'You're Polly Blakeston, ain't yer?' she said. 'Thet's me!' said the girl. 'I thought you was. Your dad, 'e says ter me, "You dunno my daughter, Polly, do yer?" says 'e. "Na," says I, "I don't."
