Must be there by two or three in the afternoon or I won't get in.

You saw what happened to-day.

What chance does that give me to look for work?
S'pose I do get into the casual ward?
Keep me in all day to-morrow, let me out mornin' o' next day.

What then?
The law sez I can't get in another casual ward that night less'n ten miles distant.

Have to hurry an' walk to be there in time that day.
