'Then we shan't 'ave time, it's just on closin' time now.' answered Harry. 'Well, we can't leave 'em 'ere.' 'Yus, you can,' said Sally. 'No one'll run awy with us.'

though it were afraid of being there; this time both she and Tom were happy. But suddenly there was a movement on the other side of her, a hand was advanced along her leg, and her hand was grasped and gently pressed. It was Jim Blakeston. She started a little and began trembling so that Tom noticed it, and whispered: 'You're cold, Liza.' 'Na, I'm not, Tom; it's only a sort of shiver thet went through me.' His arm gave her waist a squeeze, and at the same time the big rough hand pressed her little one. And so she sat between them till they reached the 'Red Lion' in the Westminster Bridge Road, and Tom said to himself: 'I believe she does care for me after all.' When they got down they all said good night, and Sally and Liza, with their respective slaves and the Blakestons, marched off homewards. At the corner of Vere Street Harry said to Tom and Blakeston: 'I say, you blokes, let's go an' 'ave another drink before closin' time.' 'I don't mind,' said Tom, 'after we've took the gals 'ome.
