'Quite right, too,' agreed his mother in law; 'an' wot's more, she'll 'ave a baby ter look after soon, an' thet'll tike 'er all 'er time, an' there's no one as knows thet better than me, for I've 'ad twelve, ter sy nothin' of two stills an' one miss.'

 Thenceforward, when she ran against Tom, she cut him; he never tried to speak to her, but as she passed him, pretending to look in front of her, she could see that he always blushed, and she fancied his eyes were very sorrowful. Then several weeks went by, and as she began to feel more and more lonely in the street she regretted the quarrel; she cried a little as she thought that she had lost his faithful gentle love and she would have much liked to be friends with him again. If he had only made some advance she would have welcomed him so cordially, but she was too proud to go to him herself and beg him to forgive her--and then how could he forgive her?

ULD CONDEMN HER FOR THAT THENCEFORWARD WHEN SHE RAN AGAINST TOM SHE CUT HIM HE NEVER TRIED TO SPEAK TO HER BUT AS SHE PASSED HIM PRETENDING TO LOOK OUT IN FRONT OF HER SHE COULD SEE THAT HE ALWAYS BLUSHED AND SHE FANCIED HIS EYES WERE VERY SORROWFUL THEN SEVERAL WEEKS WENT BY AND AS SHE BEGAN TO FEEL MORE AND MORE LONELY IN THE STREET SHE REGRETTED THE QUARREL SHE CRIED A LITTLE AS SHE THOUGHT THAT SHE HAD LOST HIS FAITHFUL GENTLE LOVE AND SHE WOULD HAVE MUCH LIKED TO BE FRIENDS WITH HIM AGAIN IF HE HAD ONLY MADE SOME ADVANCE SHE WOULD HAVE WELCOMED HIM SO CORDIALLY BUT SHE WAS TOO PROUD TO GO TO HIM HERSELF AND BEG HIM TO FORGIVE HER AND THEN HOW COULD HE FORGIVE HER SHE HAD LOST SALLIE TOO FOR ON HER MARRIAGE HARRY HAD MADE HER GIVE UP THE FACTORY HE WAS A YOUNG MAN WITH PRINCIPLES WORTHY OF A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT AND HE HAD SAID A WOMAN'S PLACE IS HER OWN AND IF HER OLD MAN CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP HER WITHOUT MY WORKIN IN A FACTORY WELL ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT YOU DON'T GO AND GET SINGLE
