I don't want you 'ere at all as a matter o' fact, but to have you sitting there shaking your silly 'ead and talking a pack o' nonsense is more than I can stand." Mr.Vickers gazed at him in perplexity.

"Do you mean to tell me you haven't been giving my Selina money to buy new clothes for the young'uns ?" he demanded, sharply.

"Do you mean to tell me that Selina didn't get money out of you to buy herself and 'er mother and all of 'em-- except me--a new rig-out from top to toe ?" "D'ye think I've gone mad, or what ?" inquired the amazed Mr.Tasker.
"What d'ye think I should want to buy clothes for your young'uns for?
That's your duty.

And Selina, too; I haven't given 'er anything except a ring, and she lent me the money for that.

D'ye think I'm made o' money ?" "All right, Joseph," said Mr.Vickers, secretly incensed at this unforeseen display of caution on Mr.Tasker's part.
