Chapter M: PAULUS. Et quand j'rentr', ce n'est pour rien (3)

THE FATHER (handsomely). Better late nor never, Mum, and we take it kind of you. Though, why you shouldn't ha' done it at fust, I dunno; for you look a deal 'ansomer without the 'at than what you did in it--_don't_ she, Maria?

THE O. OF THE H. (_mollified_). Sam, ask the gentleman behind if his little boy would like a ginger-nut.

[_This olive-branch is accepted; compliments pass; cordiality is restored, and the Pantomime proceeds without further disturbance._
