THE REPUGNANCE WHICH HAD HITHERTO KEPT GIBBEY FROM HER HAVING BEEN ALTOGETHER TO HER PLACE AND NOT TO HERSELF HE AT ONCE ACCOMPANIED HER HOME AND AFTER THAT WENT OFTEN TO THE HOUSE
orse house in a worse region of the city--on the river-bank, namely, some little distance above the quay, not too far to be within easy range of sailors, and the people employed about the vessels loading or discharging cargo. It pretended to be only a lodging-house, and had no license for the sale of strong drink, but nevertheless, one way and another, a great deal was drunk in the house, and, as always, card-playing, and sometimes worse things were going on, getting more vigorous ever as the daylight waned; frequent quarrels and occasional bloodshed was the consequence. For some time, however, nothing very serious brought the place immediately within the conscious ken of the magistrates. In the second winter after his father’s death, Gibbie, wandering everywhere about the city, encountered Lucky Croale in the neighbourhood of her new abode; down there she was _Mistress_ no longer, but, with a familiarity scarcely removed from contempt, was both mentioned and addressed as Lucky Croale.
