never     brings     two    objects    at  once察   it  takes    time    under     the 

circumstances。 At length  the   breakfast  is   ready。   Phil   announcing 

it察Mr George knocks the ashes out of his pipe on the hob察stands 

his   pipe   itself  in   the   chimney  corner察and   sits   down   to   the   meal。 

When      he   has   helped     himself察   Phil   follows   suit察  sitting   at  the 

extreme end of the little oblong table察and taking his plate on his 

knees。     Either    in  humility察   or  to  hide    his  blackened      hands察   or 

because it is his natural manner of eating。

   ^The marshes察commander察院returns Phil。 

   ^Where are they拭院

   ^I   don¨t   know     where    they   are察院 says   Phil察  but    I  see  ¨em察

   Governor       and   Commander        are   interchangeable       terms   with 

Phil察expressive of the same respect and deference察and applicable 

to nobody but Mr George。 

   ^I was born in the country察Phil。 ̄ 

   ^Was you indeed察commander拭院

   ^Yes。 And bred there。 ̄ Phil elevated his one eyebrow察and察after 

respectfully   staring  at   his   master   to   express   interest察  swallows   a 

great gulp of coffee察still staring at him。 

   ^There¨s not a bird¨s note that I don¨t know察院says Mr George。 

^Not   many   an   English   leaf   or   berry   that   I  couldn¨t   name。   Not 

many a tree that I couldn¨t climb yet察if I was put to it。 I was a real 

country boy once。 My good mother lived in the country。 ̄ 

   ^She must have been a fine old lady察guv¨ner察院Phil observes。 

   ^Ay  and not  so  old   either察  five´and´thirty  years   ago察院  says   Mr 

George。 ^But I¨ll wager that at ninety she would be near as upright 

as me察and near as broad across the shoulders。 ̄ 

   ^Did she die at ninety察guv¨ner拭院inquires Phil。 

   ^No。     Bosh   Let   her  rest  in  peace察   God   bless   her 院 says   the 

trooper。 ^What set me on about country boys察and runaways and

conveys his smoking saucer to his lips。 

    ^I¨m something with a eight in it察院says Phil。 ^It can¨t be eighty。 

Nor yet eighteen。 It¨s betwixt ¨em somewheres。 ̄ 

    Mr George察slowly putting down his saucer without tasting the 

contents察is laughingly  beginning察   Why察  what  the   deuce察  Phil ̄! 

when he stops察seeing that Phil is counting on his dirty fingers。 

    ^I    was    just   eight察院   says    Phil察   agreeable      to   the    parish 

calculation察when I went with the tinker。 I was sent on an errand察

and I see him a sitting under a old buildin with a fire all to himself 

wery   comfortable察  and   he   says察   Would   you   like   to   come   along   a 

me察my man拭 I says `Yes察 and him and me and the fire goes home 

to   Clerkenwell   together。   That   was   April   Fool   Day。   I   was   able   to 

count up to ten察and when April Fool Day come round again察I says 

to myself察 Now察old chap察you¨re one and a eight in it。¨ April Fool 

Day after that察I says察 Now察old chap察you¨re two and a eight in it。¨ 

In course of time察I come to ten and a eight in it察  two  tens and   a 

eight in it。 When it got so high察  it  got  the   upper  hand   of  me察 but 

this is how I always know there¨s a eight in it。 ̄

    ^Yes察commander察I took the business。 Such as it was。 It wasn¨t 

much of a beat!round Saffron Hill察Hatton Garden察Clerkenwell察

Smiffeld察and there!poor neighbourhood察where they use up the 

kettles till they¨re past mending。 Most of the tramping tinkers used 

to   come    and   lodge    at   our   place察  that   was  the  best   part   of  my 

master¨s earnings。 But they didn¨t come to me。 I warn¨t like him。 

He   could   sing   ¨em   a   good   song。  I   couldn¨t   He   could   play   ¨em   a 

tune on any sort of pot you please察so as it was iron or block tin。 I 

never   could   do   nothing   with   a   pot   but   mend   it   or   bile   it!never 

had a note of music in me。 Besides察I was too ill´looking察and their 

wives complained of me。 ̄

I   was   passable     enough     when     I  went    with   the   tinker察  though 

nothing to boast of then此but what with blowing the   fire   with  my 

mouth      when     I  was   young察    and   spileing    my    complexion察     and 

singeing   my   hair   off察  and   swallering   the   smoke察  and   what   with 

being nat¨rally unfort¨nate in the way of running against hot metal察

and marking myself by sich means察and what with having turn´ups 

with the tinker as I got older察almost whenever he was too far gone 

in drink!which  was almost  always!my  beauty  was   queer察  wery 

queer察even at that time。 As to since察what with a dozen years in a 

dark   forge察  where   the   men   was   given   to   larking察  and   what   with 

being scorched in a accident at a gasworks察and what with  being 

blowed   out   of   winder察  case´filling   at   the   firework   business察  I   am 

ugly enough to be made a show on 院
