You will see that presently , plain enough . '' `` Oh , of course , it 's my fault . Everything 's always my fault , '' said Grimes . `` Now do n't go to hit me again '' -LRB- for the truncheon started upright , and looked very wicked -RRB- ; `` you know , if my arms were only free , you dare n't hit me then . '' The truncheon leant back against the chimney , and took no notice of the personal insult , like a well-trained policeman as it was , though he was ready enough to avenge any transgression against morality or order . `` But ca n't I help you in any other way ? Ca n't I help you to get out of this chimney ? '' said Tom . `` No , '' interposed the truncheon ; `` he has come to the place where everybody must help themselves ; and he will find it out , I hope , before he has done with me . '' `` Oh , yes , '' said Grimes , `` of course it 's me . Did I ask to be brought here into the prison ? Did I ask to be set to sweep your foul chimneys ? Did I ask to have lighted straw put under me to make me go up ? Did I ask to stick fast in the very first chimney of all , because it was so shamefully clogged up with soot ? Did I ask to stay here -- I do n't know how long -- a hundred years , I do believe , and never get my pipe , nor my beer , nor nothing fit for a beast , let alone a man ? '' `` No , '' answered a solemn voice behind . `` No more did Tom , when you behaved to him in the very same way . '' It was Mrs. Bedonebyasyoudid . And , when the truncheon saw her , it started bolt upright -- Attention ! -- and made such a low bow , that if it had not been full of the spirit of justice , it must have tumbled on its end , and probably hurt its one eye .
And XXXXX made his bow too .
