THE BOY WITH TWO MOTHERS "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 Shovel 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 gal learned me that; she's deep," Shovel said, wiping the words off his mouth with his sleeve.
"But you got no kids at 'ome!" remonstrated Tommy.
