〃Who might that be?〃 he asked。

Tilly; the cross…eyed woman of forty; who adored him; ran

gladly to the window to look。 She was glad when he asked her for

anything。 She craned her head over the short curtain; the little

tight knob of her black hair sticking out pathetically as she

bobbed about。

〃Oh why〃……she lifted her head and peered with her

twisted; keen brown eyes……〃why; you know who it

is……its her from th vicarage……you know……〃

〃How do I know; you hen…bird;〃 he shouted。

Tilly blushed and drew her neck in and looked at him with her

squinting; sharp; almost reproachful look。

〃Why you do……its the new housekeeper。〃

〃Ay……an what by that?〃

〃Well; an what by that?〃 rejoined the indignant

Tilly。

〃Shes a woman; isnt she; housekeeper or no housekeeper?

Shes got more to her than that! Who is she……shes got a

name?〃

〃Well; if she has; I dont know;〃 retorted Tilly; not

to be badgered by this lad who had grown up into a man。

〃Whats her name?〃 he asked; more gently。

〃Im sure I couldnt tell you;〃 replied Tilly; on her

dignity。

〃An is that all as youve gathered; as shes housekeeping at

the vicarage?〃

〃Ive eered mention of er name; but I couldnt remember it

for my life。〃

〃Why; yer riddle…skulled woman o nonsense; what have you got

a head for?〃

〃For what other folks as got theirs for;〃 retorted Tilly;

who loved nothing more than these tilts when he would call her

names。

There was a lull。

〃I dont believe as anybody could keep it in their head;〃 the

woman…servant continued; tentatively。

〃What?〃 he asked。
