The Small House at Allington

CHAPTER XI
13/15

My dear, how's Mr Juniper, of Grogram's house, at Salford?
I know all about you, and so shall John Eames, too--poor unfortunate fool of a fellow! Telling me of drink and jealousy, indeed!" "Yes, telling you! And now you've mentioned Mr Juniper's name, Mr Eames, and Mr Cradell too, may know the whole of it.

There's been nothing about Mr Juniper that I'm ashamed of." "It would be difficult to make you ashamed of anything, I believe." "But let me tell you this, Mrs Lupex, you're not going to destroy the respectability of this house by your goings on." "It was a bad day for me when I let Lupex bring me into it." "Then pay your bill, and walk out of it," said Amelia, waving her hand towards the door.

"I'll undertake to say there shan't be any notice required.

Only you pay mother what you owe, and you're free to go at once." "I shall go just when I please, and not one hour before.

Who are you, you gipsy, to speak to me in this way ?" "And as for going, go you shall, if we have to call in the police to make you." Amelia, as at this period of the fight she stood fronting her foe with her arms akimbo, certainly seemed to have the best of the battle.
