dn't know as 'ow yer wanted me, mother,' answered Liza. 'Well, yer might 'ave come ter see! I might 'ave been dead, for all you knew.' Liza said nothing. 'My rheumatics was thet bad to-dy, thet I didn't know wot ter do with myself. The doctor said I was to be rubbed with that stuff 'e give me, but yer won't never do nothin' for me.' 'Well, mother,' said Liza, 'your rheumatics was all right yesterday.' 'I know wot you was doin'; you was showin' off thet new dress of yours. Pretty waste of money thet is, instead of givin' it me ter sive up. An' for the matter of thet, I wanted a new dress far worse than you did. But, of course, I don't matter.' Liza did not answer, and Mrs. Kemp, having nothing more to say, continued her supper in silence. It was Liza who spoke next. 'There's some new people moved in the street. 'Ave you seen 'em?' she asked. 'No, wot are they?' 'I dunno; I've seen a chap, a big chap with a beard. I think 'e lives up at the other end.' She felt herself blushing a little.
