'Good night,' said Liza. 'Won't you come for a little walk, Liza?' 'Tike care no one 'ears you,' she added, in a whisper, though why she whispered she did not know. 'Will yer?' he asked again. 'Na--you've got to get up at five.' 'Oh, I only said thet not ter go inter the pub with them.' 'So as yer might come 'ere with me?' asked Liza. 'Yus!' 'No, I'm not comin'. Good night.' 'Well, say good night nicely.' 'Wot d'yer mean?' 'Tom said you did kiss nice.' She looked at him without speaking, and in a moment he had clasped his arms round her, almost lifting her off her feet, and kissed her. She turned her face away. |
