"He opened the door and kicked the lodger out. Leastways, he would 'ave
kicked 'im, but the chap was too quick for 'im. And then 'e came back,
and, putting his arm round Peter's waist, danced a waltz round the room
with 'im, while pore old Sam got on to his bed to be out of the way.
They danced for nearly 'arf-an-hour, and then they undressed and sat on
Peter's bed and talked. They talked in whispers at fust, but at last Sam
'eard Peter say:--
"'Threepence for 'is brekfuss; sevenpence for 'is dinner; threepence for
'is tea; penny for beer and a penny for bacca. 'Ow much is that,
Ginger?'
"'One bob,' ses Ginger.
"Peter counted up to 'imself. 'I make it more than that, old pal,' he
ses, when he 'ad finished.
"'Do you?' ses Ginger, getting up. 'Well, he won't; not if he counts it
twenty times over he won't. Good-night, Peter. 'Appy dreams.'"
