We had better get down when they come to the 'lotment gardens, and we must tip them; but Betty has only got tuppence, and I have only fourpence, and that is all in coppers, mostly ha'pennies.

I don't like to offer it to them." "I haven't a shilling," said Kitty regretfully.

"I have only eightpence left; the tea cost a good deal," and she produced from her purse a sixpenny bit and two pennies.
Dan looked at their combined wealth disgustedly.

"They'll think we've been saving up for this little go," he said in a mortified voice; "but I'll give them the lot, and tell them it is all we have left." "I don't suppose they will mind ha'pennies," said Kitty consolingly.
"Of course they won't," said Betty, who was rather cross at having to lay down her beloved rose and dive for her purse; "they aren't so silly.
Besides, they have had our apples and sandwiches already." "Well, don't remind them of that again," said Kitty anxiously, for it was just the kind of thing Betty would do; but before she could extract a promise the engine slowed down and they hastily prepared to dismount.
Dan coloured as he put the sixpenny bit and the coppers into Dumble's grimy hand.

"I am sorry there's such a lot of pence," he said shyly; "but it is all we've got left, and--and--" "Aw," said Dumble, who had expected nothing, and was rather embarrassed than otherwise by their generosity, "thank 'ee kindly, sirs, and young leddies; there wasn't no 'casion to give us nothing; but thank 'ee very much all the same, and 'nother time we'll be glad to 'blige 'ee with 'nother lift." "Thank you very much," said Dan.
