Another man had been attracted by the crowd, and he, too, pushed his way through. 'Come 'ome, Liza,' he said. 'Tom!' He took hold of her arm, and led her through the people, who gave way to let her pass. They walked silently through the street, Tom very grave, Liza weeping bitterly. ANOTHER MAN HAD BEEN ATTRACTED BY THE CROWD AND HE TOO PUSHED HIS WAY THROUGH COME OVER ELIZA HE SAID TOM HE TOOK HOLD OF HER ARM AND LED HER THROUGH THE PEOPLE WHO GAVE WAY TO LET HER PASS THEY WALKED SILENTLY THROUGH THE STREET TOM VERY GRAVE ELIZA WEEPING BITTERLY
 and the men cried: 'By God, the little 'un's gettin' the best of it!' But quickly recovering herself the woman closed with Liza, and dug her nails into her flesh. Liza caught hold of her hair and pulled with all her might, and turning her teeth on Mrs. Blakeston tried to bite her. And thus for a minute they swayed about, scratching, tearing, biting, sweat and blood pouring down their faces, and their eyes fixed on one another, bloodshot and full of rage. The audience shouted and cheered and clapped their hands. 'Wot the 'ell's up 'ere?' 'I sy, look there,' said some of the women in a whisper. 'It's the 'usbind!' He stood on tiptoe and looked over the crowd. 'My Gawd,' he said, 'it's Liza!' Then roughly pushing the people aside, he made his way through the crowd into the centre, and thrusting himself between the two women, tore them apart. He turned furiously on his wife. 'By Gawd, I'll give yer somethin' for this!' And for a moment they all three stood silently looking at one another.
