Both Jim and she liked children, and, tiny, ragged urchins would gather round to have rides on the man's knees or mock fights with Liza. They thought themselves far away from anyone in Vere Street, but twice, as they were walking along, they were met by people they knew. BOTH JIM AND SHE LIKED CHILDREN AND TINY RAGGED URCHINS WOULD GATHER ROUND TO HAVE RIDES ON THE MAN'S KNEES OR MOCK FIGHTS WITH LIZA THEY THOUGHT THEMSELVES FAR AWAY FROM ANYONE IN BEER STREET BUT TWICE AS THEY WERE WALKING ALONG THEY WERE MET BY PEOPLE THEY KNEW
ssed him turned round and looked at her, wondering whether she was meditating some illegal deed. She breathed freely on coming into the open road, and seeing Jim skulking behind a tree, ran up to him, and in the shadows they kissed again. 9 Thus began a time of love and joy. As soon as her work was over and she had finished tea, Liza would slip out and at some appointed spot meet Jim. Usually it would be at the church, where the Westminster Bridge Road bends down to get to the river, and they would go off, arm-in-arm, till they came to some place where they could sit down and rest. Sometimes they would walk along the Albert Embankment to Battersea Park, and here sit on the benches, watching the children play. The female cyclist had almost abandoned Battersea for the parks on the other side of the river, but often enough one went by, and Liza, with the old-fashioned prejudice of her class, would look after the rider and make some remark about her, not seldom more forcible than ladylike.
