'I sy, look there,' said some of the women in a whisper. 'It's the 'usbind!' He stood on tiptoe and looked over the crowd. 'My Gawd,' he said, 'it's Liza!' Then roughly pushing the people aside, he made his way through the crowd into the centre, and thrusting himself between the two women, tore them apart. He turned furiously on his wife.

'Come 'ome, Liza,' he said. 'Tom!' He took hold of her arm, and led her through the people, who gave way to let her pass. They walked silently through the street, Tom very grave, Liza weeping bitterly. 'Oh, Tom,' she sobbed after a while, 'I couldn't 'elp it!' Then, when her tears permitted, 'I did love 'im so!
