, 'e ain't got no cause ter be jealous of anyone--that 'e ain't!' said Liza, and continued by telling him all about Tom: how he had wanted to marry her and she wouldn't have him, and how she had only agreed to come to Chingford with him on the understanding that she should preserve her entire freedom. Jim listened sympathetically, but his wife paid no attention; she was doubtless engaged in thought respecting her household or her family. When they got back to Chingford they saw Tom standing in solitude looking at them.

He was bursting to apologize for his behaviour. 'Yer know, Tom,' she went on, 'I'm rather 'asty, an' I'm sorry I said wot I did.' 'Oh, Liza, you are good! You ain't cross with me?' 'Me? Na; it's you thet oughter be cross.' 'You are a good sort, Liza!' 'You ain't vexed with me?
