18/29 There's a deal happened since then. On that day I had my shop in the Cut, and I had two legs like other mortals. Why, it's like yesterday to remember. My wife she come a-runnin' into the shop just before dinner-time. "There's a boiler busted at Walton's," she says, "an' they say as Mr.Trent's killed." It was Walton's, the pump-maker's, in Ground Street.' 'It's Simpson & Thomas's now,' remarked Mrs.Bower. |
