Liza trembling all over, and in her terror threw herself against Jim, who put both his arms round her, and said: 'Don't be afride, Liza; it's all right.' LIZA TREMBLING ALL OVER AND IN TERROR THREW HERSELF AGAINST JIM WHO PUT BOTH HIS ARMS ROUND HER AND SAID DON'T BE AFRAID LIZA IT'S ALL RIGHT
ssly, trembling with excitement, almost beside herself at the celebrated hanging incident. When the curtain fell on the first act she sighed and mopped her face. 'See 'ow 'ot I am.' she said to Jim, giving him her hand. 'Yus, you are!' he remarked, taking it. 'Leave go!' she said, trying to withdraw it from him. 'Not much,' he answered, quite boldly. 'Garn! Leave go!' But he didn't, and she really did not struggle very violently. The second act came, and she shrieked over the comic man; and her laughter rang higher than anyone else's, so that people turned to look at her, and said: 'She is enjoyin' 'erself.' Then when the murder came she bit her nails and the sweat stood on her forehead in great drops; in her excitement she even called out as loud as she could to the victim, 'Look aht!' It caused a laugh and slackened the tension, for the whole house was holding its breath as it looked at the villains listening at the door, creeping silently forward, crawling like tigers to their prey.
