 Anyone can come in 'ere and tike the money.' 'If it's 'idden awy, they can't, can they, mother?' said Liza. Mrs. Kemp shook her fist. 'You dirty slut, you,' she said, 'yer think I tike yer money! Why, you ought ter give it me every week instead of savin' it up and spendin' it on all sorts of muck, while I 'ave ter grind my very bones down to keep yer.' 'Yer know, mother, if I didn't 'ave a little bit saved up, we should be rather short when you're dahn in yer luck.' Mrs. Kemp's money always ran out on Tuesday, and Liza had to keep things going till the following Saturday. 'Oh, don't talk ter me!' proceeded Mrs. Kemp. 'When I was a girl I give all my money ter my mother. She never 'ad ter ask me for nothin'. On Saturday when I come 'ome with my wiges, I give it 'er every farthin'. That's wot a daughter ought ter do. I can say this for myself, I be'aved by my mother like a gal should. None of your prodigal sons for me!
