“See theer now,” he muttered. “What, owd Tommy, is that thou?” he cried, as his old friend and fellow-workman, who had in the darkness missed Daisy, ran up.
“Did’st see Daisy Banks?” he cried.
“Yes, I see her. She’s gone down street like a flash o’ lightning.”
“No, no; she must have gone to the works,” cried Tom.
“Then she’s gone all round town to get to ’em,” said Harry.
“Come and see first,” cried Tom, and the two men ran towards the gates.
“What time weer it to be, lad?” whispered Harry.
“I don’t know,” said Tom hoarsely; “they’ve kept that to their sens.”
“But owd Joe Banks is going to do it, isn’t he?”
“Yes, yes; but come along quick.”
