`` Never saw me ? Who said to you , Those that will be foul , foul they will be ? '' Grimes looked up ; and Tom looked up too ; for the voice was that of the Irishwoman who met them the day that they went out together to Harthover . `` I gave you your warning then : but you gave it yourself a thousand times before and since . Every bad word that you said -- every cruel and mean thing that you did -- every time that you got tipsy -- every day that you went dirty -- you were disobeying me , whether you knew it or not .
