Huge baskets full of food were brought out and stowed away; cases of beer were hoisted up and put in every possible place  under the seats, under the driver's legs, and even beneath the brake. As more people came up, Sally began to get excited about Harry's non appearance. 'I say, I wish 'e'd come!' she said. ''E is lite.' Then she looked up and down the Westminster Bridge Road to see if he was in view. 'Suppose 'e don't turn up! I will give it 'im when 'e comes for keepin' me witin' like this.'

Sally was not the first on the scene, for already half a dozen people had taken their places, but Harry had not yet arrived. The two girls stood by the public-door, looking at the preparations.
