'Nothin',' answered Sally, with a brave little gasp to stop the crying, turning her face downwards so that Liza should not see the tears in her eyes; but they were too strong for her, and, quickly taking out her handkerchief, she hid her face in it and began to sob broken heartedly. NOTHING ANSWERED SALLIE WITH A BRAVE LITTLE GASP TO STOP THE CRYING TURNING HER FACE DOWNWARD SO THAT LIZA SHOULD NOT SEE THE TEARS IN HER EYES BUT THEY WERE TOO STRONG FOR HER AND QUICKLY TAKING OUT HER HANDKERCHIEF SHE HID HER FACE IN IT AND BEGAN TO SOB BROKEN HEARTEDLY
a bit of a toothache, an'--well, I'm rather a fool like, an' it 'urt so much that I couldn't 'elp cryin'.' Liza was not satisfied, but could get nothing further out of her. Then one day it came out. It was a Saturday night, the time when women in Vere Street weep. Liza went up into Sally's room for a few minutes on her way to the Westminster Bridge Road, where she was to meet Jim. Harry had taken the top back room, and Liza, climbing up the second flight of stairs, called out as usual. 'Wot ho, Sally!' The door remained shut, although Liza could see that there was a light in the room; but on getting to the door she stood still, for she heard the sound of sobbing. She listened for a minute and then knocked: there was a little flurry inside, and someone called out: ''Oo's there?' 'Only me,' said Liza, opening the door. As she did so she saw Sally rapidly wipe her eyes and put her handkerchief away. Her mother was sitting by her side, evidently comforting her. 'Wot's up, Sal?' asked Liza.
