'Buck up, old gal!' said Liza, filling the glasses, 'no 'eel taps. I feel like a new woman now. I was thet dahn in the dumps  well, I shouldn't 'ave cared if I'd been at the bottom of the river, an' thet's the truth.' 'You don't sy so,' replied her affectionate mother. 'Yus, I do, an' I mean it too, but I don't feel like thet now. BUCK UP OLD GAL SAID LIZA FILLING THE GLASSES NO ILL TAPS I FEEL LIKE A NEW WOMAN NOW I WAS THAT DOWN IN THE DUMPS WELL I SHOULDN'T HAVE CARED IF I'D BEEN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RIVER AND THAT'S THE TRUTH YOU DON'T SAY SO REPLIED HER AFFECTIONATE MOTHER YES I DO AND I MEAN IT TOO BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE THAT NOW
o buck yer up.' 'You're right, Liza--you're right. An' you wanted it badly. Fancy you 'avin' a fight with a woman! Oh, I've 'ad some in my day, but then I wasn't a little bit of a thing like you is. I wish I'd been there, I wouldn't 'ave stood by an' looked on while my daughter was gettin' the worst of it; although I'm turned sixty-five, an' gettin' on for sixty-six, I'd 'ave said to 'er: "If you touch my daughter you'll 'ave me ter deal with, so just look aht!"' She brandished her glass, and that reminding her, she refilled it and Liza's. 'Ah, Liza,' she remarked, 'you're a chip of the old block. Ter see you settin' there an' 'avin' your little drop, it mikes me feel as if I was livin' a better life. Yer used ter be rather 'ard on me, Liza, 'cause I took a little drop on Saturday nights. An', mind, I don't sy I didn't tike a little drop too much sometimes--accidents will occur even in the best regulated of families, but wot I say is this--it's good stuff, I say, an' it don't 'urt yer.
