GILES' TRIP TO LONDON:

A Farm Labourer's First Peep at the WOBII>.

CHAPTER VIII.

Giles and Saibey staet fob the Towee of London; theie journey is beought to a disageeeable teemination ; Giles eeceives a visit feom the gbeen-eyed monsteb, but withal |discusses the Education Act. Vow can't think how proud I felt o Sairey arter she had made that spaach, and I said, 'Gal, these troubles 'a made ye shine like owd gold. I never knowed ye had so much pluck afore. I'm 'tar mined to stick tut as long as yow wish ~~ — —~d now I'm here we'll go throw it u° m- /fl y hope nobody oant interfere •jxy^-ua-'to-day,' I ses, 'as I fare kinder snaasty.' ' Well,' she ses, ' yow aant had much slaap all night, no more aant I; but wot say ye, now we are here, to go right down and see the Tower, andlHke at the Quaan's crown?' ' The Quaan oant let us luke at her Crown, will she ?' I ses. ' And besides, she doant live at the Tower, dv she P' 'Oh, no,' Sairey ses, ' the Quaan can't abear Lunnen, so sometimes go to live at a faarm-house in Scotland, and sometimes in the Isle of Wight.' j ' She taake her crown with her, then, doant she ?' I ses. * Lor no,' Sairey ses,'' the Quaan doant want no crown, no more'n the paaple sanm to want the Quaan, and so she hey her j crown locked up in the Tower, and she go rambling about the Scotch hills in an owd bonnet.' " Why yow doant maan it ?" I ses ; I allers thowt kings and quaans weant about wi' their crowns on their beds. But if the crown be at the Tower,' I ses, 'let's go and see. But how are we to got there, Sairey ?' * Well,' she ses, ' we can go by the boat as far as Lunnen Bridge.' ' No,' I ses, ' Sairey ; no more boats for me, I 'a had enough on 'em.' ' Well, then,' she ses, 'we can go by the underground railway.' * Wus and wus,' I ses, ' that'll never dv no more.' * What say ye, then,' she ses, 'to the omnibus ?' ' No,' I ses ; 'no more ugly owd female grampuses, I thankee, Sairey.' ' Well,' she ses, ' 'tis tv far tv walk; wemust taake a hansom.' 'I'a no berjection to that,' I ses,' thow I must say I doaant faal so well as I might dv.' 'Dear me,' she ses, 'yow dv luke a figger, and the spots left by those nasty things are gettin' wus and wus throw the heat. We had better go back and hey a quiet day at yer new lodgin's.' ' Ye know,' I ses, ' I 'a got pn'y three days more afore I must start hoam, and if I luze aiiy more time, I shaan't see haaf the sights.' ' Wery well,' she ses,' we'll go.' She jest lifted up her finger to one of them cabmen wot wor a goin' paast, and he drawed up, and we jumped in. 'We weant to go to the Tower,' she ses; and he cracked his whip, and we off in a jiffey. Wotever they give them things the name o' * Hansom' for I dunno' to this day. Handsome they certainly are not, with the driver stuck up behind there in that ugly fashion. Nayther dv I call 'em" comfortable, for ye git cramped up a~ settin' in 'em with hardly rume to move in. As we was a goin' along we had a rather smaart shower o' rain, and all of a sudden a great glass winder came a sliding doWn right in front o' our faces, and as j happened to be jest a bobbing forrord, it it my nose and took all the skin off the tip. ' Well,' I ses to Sairey, 'this is the last time I shall come into one o' these ; for a nastier/ uglier, ill-convenienter thing'n this I never seed. Tell me,' I ses, 'arter'all, of a gude big tumbril, or one o' maaster's harvest'waggons, for there's plenty o' rume in them.' Well, wot I seed of Lunnen in that drive baate all that I had sin on it before, It saamed as if all the paaple in the warld had got together and was hurry in' and drivin' in all directions. In some long st^aatS; that we weant threw the paave mentson both sides was crowded wi' men, women, and children, and in the roadway there was thousands, o' cabs, omnibuses, carts, wagons, trueks> rulleys, brewers' drays, and paaple on hossback. I ses, " Sairey, wot be they all arter ? Be there a fair or races goin' on anywhere ?' '•Lor'-nb;'. rshftises ; Hit's sllers like this from morning' to night, from yaar's end to yaar's end,' ,-'.'„: . 'Well,' I ses, 'they doant draam of ■ech a thing in Norfolk; wan Igo back. I'll hey it all wrote out and let 'em know about it.' I never was in such terror in my life, as I was in that drive. I wholly thowt Sairey 'ud be killed. Sometimes it saamed as if a great waggon was_ agoin' to rush right over us; sometimes it saamed as if wer was agoin' to dash into a omnibus; and sometimes I thowt we Wais sure to ride over a woman with a child in her arms. Well, arter under goin' no end o' torters for half-an-hour the Cab ; stoped, and the man ses, " Here ye be at the Tower,' and Sairey whispers, " It'll be tew shilling s.' it We jumps out, and I had got the money in my hand ready to pay the driver, when I'll be blowed if he didn't start back and call out, " What another ou yeP This is the second in less than a fortnight. I'a tuke it hoam to my family once a'ready. Ye owt to be 'shammed o yerself goin' about in that way,' . , 'Wot's the matter?' Sairey ses; 'take '<>%<*- *\?*<iey dv, and let's be off.' kss raj the matter, woman P' he Bed ; t *i 85 ton^iow wot's the matter well enough; v onTinek an t'ee'take himhoamP' ''' ".'■'' ' "*■■*}«,' I ses, 'doant 'cc be calling Sairey" a woman. I 'a stood from you cockneys,' I ses, 'and I'll hey no more on 'it.' ' Well,' he ses, ' she be a woman, btant she? She owt to know better than to be taking yow about to carry 'faction with ye wharever yow' go.' ' I 'a gin ye fair warnin,' I ses, ' and now for action,' and I let 'im hey it straight from the showder, and he was down in the twinklin' of an eye like the fore pin on a skittle ground. ' There,' I ses, ' that's for calling Sairey a woman,' and I chucked him his tew shillings as he lay on the ground, and towd him to pick hisself up at his leysure. A lot o' people nine got round, and I |es

I to 'em, "Luke ye here, he a* bin a con sulting this young woman, and if 'ere a on ye 'ud like to do the saame thing ye can be waited on in the saame manner,' I ses. Them cockneys did stare at fust, I tell 'cc; but arter a moment they called out, " Bravo ! sarve right,' and one on 'em ses, ' He come from the right shop, for I he 'a got owd Jim's lingo.' j I ses, 'Ye be right about that; owd ! Norfolk aint agoing to be baat, I can tell'ee." By this time the cabman had picked hisself up, and had shook his carcase, and I ses to him, as I chucked him another shillin, * now yow lam to be civil owd chap ; this lady is from Norfolk, and she aint agoing to be womaned over by ere a one on ye. Come along, Sairey,' I ses. She tuke ahowd o' my arm, and she wor a trambling like any laaf. • Doant'ee be afaard mor,' I ses; 'as long as I'm here I'll stand no more on't. But we'd better bolt off as quick as we can in among the crowd. We can't go to the Tower now, or we shall be tuke up for 'sault, as we wor at the Egsibition.' ' Well,' she ses, ' hoam we'll go for this day. The man thowt yowd got the small pox, and I doant wonder at at, with them spots a-showing theirselves in that way. But ye know ye must ride back, and there's no other way but to go by the un derground railway, and yow can't take no harm wan I'm with ye.' 'Werry well, Sairy, I ses;' I'll dv whatever'yow think is best, for yow're a i naation clever gal, and yow seem to know | everything.' 'Luke there,' she ses, 'yow can see St. Paul's from 'ere. Aan't it grand ? And j here be the Monnyment. Aan't it hawful i for them paaple to be up there on it ? And there be Lunnun Bridge. ' Lunnen Bridge, Sairey,' I ses, ' I weant to see it. I'a haard my faather say many a time that there's allers a grey hoss on that bridge, and I never believed it, and now we'll go and see. Lor !' I ses, as we got near it, " what a duzzy ass I must me sure-ly? I thowt Lunnen Bridge was summot like the bridge at hoam wot the barges go under, and where there aan't a grey hoss go over once a waak. ' But,' I ses, " in all them hosses there are dozens o' greys on it at the same time. I s'pose Sairey,' I ses, ' this is the place that owd John Chapman o' S waff"am draamed about, and where he stood hundeds o' yaars ago three days to haar about the money in his garden, I never believed that story afore,' I ses, * but this is the werry plaace, and it must be true.' After looking about a few minutes Sairey showed me the way to the under ground station close by, and we got our tickets, jumped in, and wor sune at Ken sinton. A short walk browt us to my new lodgin's. and she maade me lay down on the sofy, and packed me up nicely wi' pillows, and she set about gettin' out the tea things. As she was doing so I ses, '' Sairey, mor, this is better'n all the noise and bustle o' them big straats. I tell'ee wot, I'm tired on't, and I want to see the green fields and the middows agin, and to catch the smell o' the new hay j and I on'y want yow there, Sairey, and 'twould be like heaven." ' Well.' she ses, ' doant'ee git tv senti mental, for tea is all ready, and I know yow want it.' Jest as we was a-going to set down to tea, there was a tap at the door, and in stalked a great tall chap all covered wi' gold lace, and he smiles to Sairey and ses, ♦ I thowt this was the house, and I couldn't help coming to haar how yow got on this mornin'. I towd ye 'twould be all right. I thowt tv I shod like to do mysely the pleasure of callin' to see Mr Hobbins, and he comes up and shakes my hand, and ses, ' How dv yow dv, Mr Hobbins ?'

' Oh,' I se?; ' I'm all right, I thankee., ' Then I'll bo dashed if Sairey didn't eisk him , to stop and taake tea with us, and be said as it was the fust time he had sin ' Mr. Hobbins he cudn'fc deny hisself the pleasure. And there he was for nearly a hour more attentive to Sairey than I had bin in all my life. Now he was a holding her the bread and butter, and now the ham, and now offering to dv this and to dv that, and it was ' Miss Tippens 'here and Miss Tippens' there, till I was druv nearly mad. What' mazed me was that Sairey saamed plaased with it all. I sed to myself, * Bor, I wish you had been the cabman this mornin'; yow,d'a gone down a little harder than him, I think.' When tea was claared away, he ses,' Well, Mr. Hobbins, and how be things down in the 'country ?' ' , ' Wy,' I ses, 'wan I was there the dust was white, and the grass was green' and the water was wet, as the allers was.' ."' Ah,' he ses, a larfin', ' not a bad joke, Mr. Hobbins. How dv they git on with the Edica tion Act ? Hey they got it to work yit ?' j * Not as I know on,' I ses ;'the paarson and the squire and my maaster'a bin laying hids together and they oant 'a none on't.' 'Well,'he ses,'it'll be a gude thing to git the country fooks a little edicated and civi- j lised, won't it ?' ' I doant know that,' I ses ; ' I must con- | sider on't. I doant see much good from the edication and civilisation yow 'a got in theße paarts.' ' Indeed ?' he ses. ' No,' I ses. «That boy what read Sairey's letter was edicated, and the woman what stole my money was edicated, for she could talk like a buke, and we aant got n» seoh artful and deceitful wickedness in our paarts.' 'Well but,'he ses, ' edication ma ake paaple more religious and orderly, doant ye think so, Mr. Hobbins?' 'No ' I ses, ' I doant. I must consider o that tu. Luke at them tew greatest orators in the warld yow'a got in this plaace. I 'sppse ye know who they are ?' ' I hevn't the honor of their acquaintance, he ses, a drawing hie hand down his great ugly whiskers. « Perhaps you'll know em,' I ses,,' when 1 tell'ee that one on'em maake the Quaan tramble, and the other make all the paarsons tramble.' „ _~. , ' ' How yow talk, Mr. Hobbins, he ses ; « Well,- l" ses,' Miss Tippens'—and I' jest twned 'up my nose a little-* Miss Tippe.s haard on 'em as well as me. wan we^ror id the £lark,' Tses; ' yow'll believe her, Is pose, if yer oant believe me.' . a,;. ■_._ •** ■' «My dear Mr. Hobbins,' he ie», I doant doubt yer wud for a moment.' " 'Their niames, » I ses 'is Hodger and Bradler. All the good their edication a done ' em is to help 'em pruve that we doant want a Quaan to govern this warld nor a God to govern-.the other. \ But,' he ses, a leaning forrard and stroking his chin, ' laming must be a gude thing. 'I doant know that nuther,' I sei,for I was' tarmined not to agree with him. 'Why I a haard about the most lamed men in the warld ' since i. a left hoam, and they can pruv to ye ' that God never made us, but that we oome from jelly fishes wd eech like. Wot* ediea

tion done for them,' I tea, ' but made fules on 'em ?' ' I hevn't the honor of the gentlemen's aqualntance,' he ses again. 'I'll tell'ee wot,' I ses, 'we weant to be edicated to know how to dv a hud day's work. That's the edication we hey down in our parts. We aant edicated to drawl our wuda out and laaze about arter the gentry,' I ses, but to plough hurrror and to raap and mow, and to mind wot the paarson say, and wot more dv we weant ?' '1 our argument is wery gude,' he ses, ' but its gettin' late and I must go. Shall I hey the honor of 'scortin' Miss Tippins hoam ?' he ses. ' Miss Tippins can dv as she like,' I sesj Tmrayther tired and shudbe glad to be i spaared the trouble o' goin' out.' Sairey wor sune dressed, and she comes to me and. ses, ' Grude night, Giles ; I shall be in early the mornin',' But I never luked up, and jest said, 'Gude night,' and they wor off. As sunt as they was gone, I throwed myself on to the sofy, and fairly groaDed. ' Weil,' I ses, ' this is a pretty go. Lunnen is a awful place. There's no truth in none on' em, aud if any one come that a got a little ' twill sune be druv out. Afore she's here to morrer mornin' I shall a' hooked it. I'd rayther hey lost the whole o' my money in the bank than 'a had this happened.' I then hid my face in my hands, and what I did then I doant like to tell'eo. To be continuedi , ,
