'Oh, he's coming, Mr. Reddin! I mun go.' She turned away. Reddin followed.
'Why should he be angry?'
'Because we're going to be wed to-morrow'
Reddin whistled.
'And Foxy's coming, and all of 'em. And there's a clock as tick-tacks ever so sleepy, and a sleepy old lady, and Ed'ard's bought me a box full of clothes.'
'I gave you a box full too,' he said with a note of pleading. 'You little runaway!'
Hazel was annoyed because he disturbed her so. She wanted to get rid of him, and she desired to exercise her power. So she looked up and said impishly:
'Yours were old 'uns. His be new—new as morning.'
He was too angry to swear.
'You've got to come and talk to me while they're dancing to-night,' he said.
