 "I love my dear father and my dear mother and all the dear little kids at 'ome. You are a kind laidy or gentleman. I love yer. I will never do it again, so help me bob. Amen."
 
This was what Shovel1 muttered to himself again and again as the two boys made their way across the lamp-lit Hungerford Bridge, and Tommy asked him what it meant.
 
"My old gal2 learned me that; she's deep," Shovel said, wiping the words off his mouth with his sleeve.
 
"But you got no kids at 'ome!" remonstrated3 Tommy. (Ameliar was now in service.)
 
Shovel turned on him with the fury of a mother protecting her young. "Don't you try for to knock none on it out," he cried, and again fell a-mumbling.
 
Said Tommy, scornfully: "If you says it all out at one bang you'll be done at the start."
 
Shovel sighed.
 
"And you should blubber when yer says it," added Tommy, who could laugh or cry merely because other people were laughing or crying, or even with less reason, and so naturally that he found it more difficult to stop than to begin. Shovel was the taller by half a head, and irresistible4 with his fists, but to-night Tommy was master.
 
"You jest stick to me, Shovel," he said airily. "Keep a grip on my hand, same as if yer was Elspeth."
 
"But what was we copped for, Tommy?" entreated5 humble6 Shovel.
 
Tommy asked him if he knew what a butler was, and Shovel remembered, confusedly, that there had been a portrait of a butler in his father's news-sheet.
 
"Well, then," said Tommy, inspired by this same source, "there's a room a butler has, and it is a pantry, so you and me we crawled through the winder and we opened the door to the gang. You and me was copped. They catched you below the table and me stabbing the butler."
