Five years sitting on your backside and

there's not else to tell me except me

snapins's rusted. Can't get it open.

Never mind your snap. Put your bum on

that chair. I'm talking to you. Talking

about bums. I've near bankers now.

You've known about this since last you

were at labor, haven't you? Why did you

not tell me?

Oh, I'm trying to sort out about me

dad. Telling him like seven years he's

been on door. First in line be

right. It's his duel. It's not up to you

to make way for him. Your dad's never

going to work again. George Andy knows

it. Yes, he does. He's not but 50 odd.

He's infect.

I should be glad to be back with the

lads, though. Or will that?

You not be that much better off. Sid

tuftton's on a day wage. You were sent

home twice last week. Three shifts he

worked. Oh, it's not just brasping up.

It sours you. Sour is me dad. Never out

else but sour him. I don't bloody start

on about him again, but God's sake. I'll

say what I want to say about him or

anybody else. And don't you bloody swear

at me neither. Well, he's all right to

me, Dad. His small doses. It's starting

already, is it? Answering me back.

thinks he's a man cuz he's working

again, don't he? She'll need them

bananickers on Monday. Well, you best

try mine for size then. You're not the

first to turn up in his wife's bloomers.

Hey, Sam. Is it Lee? Hello, uncle. Your

mom's behind me. Is she? My dad's gone

to Manchester. Manchester? Eh. What's he

gone to Manchester for? I think he got

me granddad Toby.

Dora.

Ah, Harry. You go to Manchester, eh?

Stop here and don't go in your GRs. Stop

here with your uncle George.

George Sem will be right. Then name you

after me, you

know. How is

th didn't expect a sight of you this

side of Christmas. Have you been next

door to your mom's? No, not yet. He's

gone again.

Harry, he's gone.

You know where? Manchester, he said. Two

days going around the warehouses for his

dad. He said a week since he left. No

word from him. No, no word from him.

What's his dad think then? He thinks

what I think. Anyway, there's money

missing this time, so that clinches it,

doesn't

it? He's put his brother in shop. You

think he's gone for good then? No, same

as last time. That's all bad company.

What sort of Well, you know what sort

gambling he called it last time? I found

out different, didn't I? But he's taken

money this time. We'll be back when he's

spent it. Be back then.

Will you take him back?

No. No. Not again.

Just know what again will. No.

That

does. That's just saying that cuz

they're not ask

thee. That mustn't be backwards incoming

forage then.

Do some know? No, of course he doesn't

know. Well, if you mean what you say,

he's going to have to know, isn't he?

Been brought up on the poor law like

most of the kids around here. Not that

when I can work, he won't work. Well,

work for a grown man, let alone a woman.

If he comes back, you'll have what most

of the women around here have never had.

A man in work and proper paid at that.

You expect me to take him back from

another woman? Ah, if he brings a loaf

of bread with him, I do.

Will you tell me mom I've come?

My dad might be in. Oh, he's not going

to like it, is he?

She'll tell him better than I can.

Doesn't like skeleton then. It's M. It's

muddy. I'm not saying somebody.

They're a funny lot of cuddy. My ear.

They're not. They are the nose. When I

them up, they're a funny lot here.

That's talking about me now. I meant

others.

They weren't out here 60 or 70 years

ago. Except a few farms, that's

all. They sunk for a shaft about then.

Your granddad lived in a little village

near Skippton when they left to come

here. His dad had come to work in pit.

There were no work where they come from.

How old was he? Oh, 8. When he come

here, there were 7,000 people here. Then

they' sunk two more shafts in houses

they built. All them back to backs up

where Tommy Allison's here. That's where

we live first off. We come in a little

cart with all we've got. You didn't. No.

I If my girls were eight, you weren't

born. I didn't say I were. You said we

come in a cart. Oh, well, we did. I

mean, I might not have been born, but I

were one of them, weren't I? I mean, I

would come.

I one of them

does. They want me to tell you, doesn't

they? Vander like coming here. Everybody

thought it would have mucky all like me.

Well, he had to do what his folks

wanted, didn't he? For work. He ain't

got no work. No, but he got a good

worker in his day with your granddad.

Looked up to he was none

better. He's fallen on hard times,

that's

all. We had general strike here after

you were born. Our country were out. But

when they went back, mine has carried

on. You were a big man around here then,

your

granddad. Paid the price

since he has that. Is that why he's

cross with your cousin Fred? Eh, all

right.

Fred doors with the cousin Sam.

Hey George,

is your dad in? Thought you went across

Pitfields without Frank. Oh, good.

What the play with it? Oh, it's him.

He's hold him back. Elsa sent them

bloody dogs he's wearing.

Fred like we young Sam

a young booger will not let him in or

else he pushes herself forward. He'll

have to learn then won't he? Yeah.

What's up with our daughter? About your

guess. Harry techn again has a you know

what that means don't you? You'll have

to learn to wash behind your luggs again

won't you?

Fred come here.

I'll be sleeping on sofula tonight the

nose with sold mattress and they

couldn't weigh it. Ah mom told me and

whenever they comes again so if I were

there they I'd stop away. There's not

here for these to come back to. I shall

be sleeping on sofa from time to time. I

would an arc a little booger from the

day they were born.

Think they'll take to this new school

then? Huh?

Old daddy Watkins saw me passing school

until the day. He said it should have

been university for thee with proper

chances.

He looked at me as if I let you down or

something. If he thought that much on

you, why was you laid off? Well, he had

to cut staff down by two. I was last in

first out, I suppose.

University. I could put my mind to it in

those days. Not to do with I didn't

think it was. I just want to make sure

you didn't think so neither.

If we'd got that council house with

extra room, it might have been

different. Might have been. Then again,

it might not. We did what we could.

Best get off.

Thank god you've got another job at any

road. Anything that takes you away from

Miss Monkeyas for the better. I'd leave

happier if I thought you might get work.

Suppose you thought I should have kept

me mouth shut eight year back. Kept me

mouth shut and kept me job. No, I don't

think that. I hope I'd have done the

same. The times were against you, Dad. I

didn't have a soft seat in Downing

Street like Mr. Ramsey Macdonald. Easily

satisfied with Ramsay. You Jimmy Thomas,

who is Dicky Bo, a generation who

working men, it costs. My generation,

threearters of the population paid to

put the creases in their bloody pants.

I've been a socialist all my life. And

it sticks in my throat when I think that

if I voted Lloyd George instead of

Macdonald, I'd likely be working still.

And there'll be work again. Well, the

another bloody war, that's all that's

going to put us back in work again. And

when the lads come marching on, they

best keep their rifles in their hands.

They'll get the rights no other way. I

hope there's another way. There isn't.

You can take my word for it. I've seen

them all tried. And where have they got

us? You can go on hoping for a lifetime.

You've only got one, lad. Don't spend it

all hoping. Let somebody in this bloody

family do something in life for God's

sake.

That coming here, you can if you want.

Why didn't she come and tell me herself?

She thought her dad might be here. Don't

let that spoil for it. She'll not run

away. There'll be a bit left over for

you and George. We'll be all right for a

week or two. We sold the mattress. I

didn't want to send our Frank off empty.

Don't excuse yourself to me for

affording meat. I'm not the means

test. He'll come back again. I'm sure he

will. She'll give him no welcome this

time. So she says it's a pity he never

were glad for the smell of pigs off.

He'd have been content to stay where he

were. Yeah, he's spoiled by his dad that

one. That's what Jack always said. Can

you pass me that spoon, love? Ah, but

threatening to break his jaw doesn't

help keep him rooted, does it? He wanted

her to marry out at pit. Janet he once

would have had to pass an exam to

satisfy him. I'll go to her in a minute.

Now it's young Sam she's got to think of

now.

Crap. I have no bons. You shouldn't all

from having bons.

Well, that mashall not now if I can

break the habit. He's in work, George. I

back a pit. It's held to some, but it's

heaven to him. He's a man again. Thank

God for that. At any road. Ah, and for a

pig's fry in exchange for a mattress.

Oh, Lord, I forgot we've sold a

mattress. Three to a bed tonight. Polly

George wanting to celebrate his manhood.

Oh, he'll not take kindly to sharing a

bed with his dad.

Hey,

we have a visitor. Hey, Laura's come

home. Come see our Franco. She best ask

in there. I'm saying note.

Got any brass left?

Let's go down to Sally Walshes.

Where is she? She's next door at

Etheles. What's she doing there?

Thinking of having a week when I left.

I'll break his bloody jewel. What did I

tell you? You keep out of this. You wave

your belt at me, Jack Baracluff. You got

to find him first, haven't you? To crack

a nut, you've got to have a nut.

She's in there. Sally Walsh. Hi. She is.

She walks out here in the cross pit

fields at needs. Hi. She does. She were

a witch. She lived with Devil in Long

Row. Same house as Thomas is living.

That's why we ain't got to like me. My

grand says only we do then us. I when

it's late we do. She never comes up here

when it's late. Only at us. This devil

she lived with vanished one need. And a

bit later on she walked in after him.

But it's a door into this. Migrant says

that get out here and drag you in. He

would have coll.

He would a devil. Oh I would have call

you as well.

He were a devil and she were a

witch and she walks pit fields at

night. And that's gospel from my

grandad. Hello.

Hello.

No, he didn't fret this self. It'll be

all right. It'll be all

right. I'll straighten him out. I'll

straighten him out this

time. I've come with nothing. I just

walked

out. I heard a voice in me head saying,

"Go." And I

went and here I am.

And a good thing, too.

You think so, do

you do you know about it? Nothing much.

That you were unhappy. That's all.

And Sam, you think I've done right by

him because I might not be there.

It rubs off onto people around you.

Unhappiness. He'll see for the best when

he grows up. What's he to grow up with,

Frank? Well, we had you and me.

We'd be dad for one thing. Wasn't always

a blessing, was it?

Not for you and George.

For you?

I don't

know. What do you think?

I think you'd be better away. Maybe

where a man upsticks where a woman

can't. Well, maybe I could help out when

I get settled in Durham. Help me. What

about your own life? What you going to

Durham for anyway? There's a job there.

Sounds like out at Frying Pan into fire

to me. I thought they're as bad off as

us up there. They are. But there's a job

as a teacher

around here somewhere. There's probably

somebody from up there who's had to come

down here for a job as a teacher. It's

all mad. eyes. Is that

dad's never forgotten that village you

know where he was born and

raised? Little white houses he used to

talk about with a stream at side a road.

Does it matter being brought up with a

stacks on your doorstep?

Matters to D. He knew I'm indifferent.

I'm going upstairs to lie down.

I'm worn out with it all.

Tell her where I've gone.

I will

Who is it?

Jack Barlo.

not be expecting me.

Uh, I suppose

you'll best come in Duke back room.

Here's the missing. All right. Then I'll

stop where I am. She'll like it better.

And I'm damn sure I will.

There's no call to be offensive, lad.

I'm telling truth no more. You and me,

we're in same class together. We bred

each other's nits. We've not much in

common but with that.

Elite G.

has done well with the brass the

granddad left

thee. Two shops and a Ms from Ponty

Lane. I'm not saying they as a customer

as far as I remember. Oh, they will

start giving them away. Where is he?

I wish I knew. I bet they does. He's

gone off with some of the brass, hasn't

he? I'm saying not about that. Ah,

protecting the own. Well, I'm on same

errands, but mine's more in need than

thine. is her that's been wrong, not

thine. I'm not his keeper. That is

bloody father. All right. Well, I'm

finished with him after this. That's Le.

What about my last? Stop bloody

paramulating and stand still, Carly.

I should never have wed. It were a

bigger sorrow to me than it were to wear

in there. I can tell you. I like the

lash. They weren't fitted. That's all.

Too much of his own road all his life

here, Harry. Not for me, didn't that

ruined him, Toby? Not me. I should have

wrapped the belt around gaffer around

it.

Well, we'll not dwell on

that. I've seen neither eyed nor Aaron

then. He'll be made to do what's right

when he does show. He will. I can

promise thee. His mother will back me

there. I'll be back for mattress

tomorrow. Of no means of carting it

tonight. Mattress.

You've got to get where you can.

They slept on the mattress, didn't they?

Of course they did. And blankets. Plenty

of blankets. Hey Jack, I near so I'm

short. I tell you what,

Toby. Them knits that left me to breed

on thee, they weren't bloody

dafted. But them that left thee to breed

on me were bloody

martyrs. Tickle the

crystal. Just about

there. Just there.

That's how I was

tickled. You're

out. Talking

music. Still have lodges to pay for, but

I'll send what I can. You keep your

mouth shut about that. I'm only telling

you. Yeah. Well, don't tell me nor

anybody. When Tony Salter went to Labour

for his money last week, they told him

he'd been knocked off door. A taffle

tail. I his granddad left him a

three-piece sweep. So he sold it and

somebody told his mother-in-law they

thought. As long as it's a means test

them and starve for all you're known to

do about it. They'll be poking around as

soon as you've left to see if you've

left a few pennies in meter. They'll get

dad's tongue if they do. He's good with

his tongue and his principles. Others

that suffers as well as him for his

tongue and his principles. George, he's

still at each other's throats. Yeah, he

never took to me. I never took to him.

Apart from that, we're getting lovely

together. Here, take this candle up to

front bedroom and tell you Adora, it's

eye time she'd sum up to eat. And don't

take no for an answer. You want us a

wake? Well, they'll be talking to a post

if there doesn't want the

He thinks it's going to be all bright

and beautiful in work. There was a

collier started when he did, bought his

own ass last year, and he thinks it's

going to be like that. It could have

been after death. Oh, you're just like

George. You give him too much faith.

When I was at school, I lived off my

dad. The best first man in skeleton. He

was in front row of everything. Party,

federation, hospital committee. Only

thing he won't put himself up for was

council. I was Jack Barakluff's lad and

I lived off him. Little weed that was.

He's not in front row now, Frank. Seven

years out of work. A lot of his bites

gone.

Waste. Waste there. Don't want him now.

Those bigger dogs having the day.

West. Hail up then.

Yes.

Ethel says you to come and eat some.

I'm all right.

She says I'm not to take no for an

answer.

I'll come down in a minute.

Is Sam all right?

Don't you worried about

Sam? I shall watch out for

Sam. Tired, are you?

I'm tired.

I take him fishing if I can borrow a

tackle. Will you?

And rabbiting in Betswood with Ruby's

whipped. You like that?

But his dad never took him rabbiting.

No.

He never did.

It'll wear off the nose,

will

it? It'll wear

off. I shall take him fishing and I

shall take him rabbiting and I shall

take him to watch football and all. It's

time you had a lad of your own.

We tried once. Once. up. I mean within

10. She'd always said we should wait

until we could afford it and then I got

work on face and she said right time's

gone.

Mike know what happened.

And I fell out of work

again and she'd

have she'll open the door to me again

now.

like

Jack.

Cold tonight. Hi.

You want to Woody? Yeah.

I was sorry to hear about the dud.

I he wor with me, you know. I know I

did.

They're burying him day after tomorrow.

Polly said

not there.

Is there any blankets? Will blankets?

No. Dora's come on with Aladdin. We've

not for him.

I was wondering whether the dad

like it's cold

and short of blankets just to lend on

them or not.

He'll be glad for George. I know he

will. And Ethl shouldn't think

different. I told her it's just that

George wants to tell him himself. Ah,

the poor lad. He'd put the job on a

plate and give it to him if he could.

He loves you, Dad. You know, the one

that's had the least of him cares the

most. That could be true. It is true. I

know it's true. It's our maid. I suppose

we should not sold the mattress. I mean,

apart from Dora coming back. It wasn't

just the money. The young lass were

pregnant. Malcolm Langley's caught in.

Her dad threw her out. Malcolm's mom

took him in, but there no mattress. It

were your dad that said yes in the end.

Ah, he don't want me to think I could

easy come back. For your own good,

Frank. Only for that. I know.

He thinks I'm not resolved to get away.

It'd shut the door against me to make

sure I do. But you can't make me want to

go,

man. I'd soon have had a job around here

if there'd been one. Any job. And let us

go on living off you. He sees you like

that. Not me. Your dad kept you out at

pit by keeping you your studies. They'd

not want to see you throw it away

now. You'll do better where you're going

than by stepping here.

Nice shall go for mattress tomorrow. You

asked him then. I told him on me road

out. I told him we'd need some blankets

and all. I didn't get these off Toby. I

got a lend on them till tomorrow.

There's four. I'll take two round with

me. I'm just off now. I'll send our

George back. And the young

He wants to stay with Dora.

You can't decently get four in your own

bed. Send him round here. He says he

wants to stay with her, Jack. Never mind

what he wants. It's I want that sent his

father off. I want this and I want that

and to well with everybody else. I won't

have it in this house. Do as I say,

Polly.

Ma'am. Ma'am,

change them. Good. I'll not have your

dad see you. We always see your drawers.

He'd never let me forget it. I like me

own bed. I do. Well, sleeping with your

dad will help you to appreciate it.

Have you appreciating?

Come on, lad. Get a move on, will you?

And let's get to bed. Come on, lad. I

want to go, grandad.

The what? I want to go, grandad. Well,

why didn't I say so before? Didn't want

grandad. Well, he can use poor, can't

he? No, he can't. Lo's way to go.

I'll come with thee. No, they won't.

He's big enough to go on his own. Off

the go. And don't be all night about it.

Jubilees just let out. They'll be

spewing all up and down Gill. Lad's not

used to it. He'd have to get used to it

if he lived here, wouldn't he? Well,

now's his chance to learn. Happen to

your got right time in future.

I want to go any road. Without a bloody

lie. I am not. A bloody lie. Thou art.

Said they have written me bloody pants

for thee. I just know whether I want to

go or not. felt bladder or something. I

said I want to go and I do want to go,

but I'm going. You can put that in your

pipe and smoke it.

All right, lad. There's somebody in. Hey

Oh, it's there bit chopper. Shut that

bloody

door gets home. I caugh the before. Shut

it. I

said I'll not wait all that over there.

What's the think about it there?

I'll stop it till bloody morning if I

mind. I won't know. But I'll drag that

out with the pants around the boots if

it doesn't get a move on. They wait

about just work again.

Who told the work? We're all right to

eat. The only finger working there

idle his bloody father next. Right.

Chopper's ass for me. Come on.

Get in there lad.

You've already been.

There were no point in waking her. Will

she sleep through? No, she'll sleep

through. All right. When she were a

little less, any bit of trouble, she'd

off to bed to sleep it away. She'll not

sleep this away, ma'am. She'll not work

and find this gone tomorrow. And

tomorrow, she'll cope

better. She'll be warm between us any

road up.

I just I sleep in court then. Oh, I do

with this weather, don't you? I've been

tempted to when there's ice on glass.

Though he's warm in bed, is Jack? Then

he'd say it weren't in keeping. You

know,

there's not much body in these blankets,

sister. She'll be thinking of him now in

her sleep, missing

him, thinking it might all come up ever

after like a fairy

story. And him Bloody selfish bastard.

Howful. No, you want to have a good cuss

now and again. It's like a spit in a

coffee. It clears your tubes.

Is he off then?

Means off.

He was scared stiff when chopper come at

me. What did they let him for? I told

thee. He caught me on the op sly

like chopper. I know they know something

to do with they being in work was it?

Who told they were at work? Never mind.

Who told me? Why did they say no? Why

didn't they tell me? Oh, we're going to

tonight till I started racketing on.

Without a liar. I am out a liar, too.

There's a jerry under this bed. I never

said there wasn't. I said he couldn't

use it. That's what I said.

Go coke oven. sending him out when

there's no need. He might as well face

worse hours later. There's only one

place for him if she don't go back to

Young and that's here.

She go back. There's not far around

here.

Happen she will. Happen she

won't. We shall see, shall we?

And I shall use it if I ever mind

to up there again.

We're getting cogis and cart. So if the

rights done what they wants, we shall

know what's right to bring, shall we?

I'm not stopping for long, Dad. Even if

I have come away, I never said I'd come

to stop. We know that, love. We know

that. Just to learn him, that's so. I

can go back and live there anytime I

want. Nobody can stop me doing that. And

I'd like to see him try.

But we must get you on mattress, mustn't

we? Just till we get things worked out.

And there's one or two bits and pieces

you'll want for yourself and the lad,

won't you? It's not to look as if I'd

gone for good. I don't want it to look

like that. But it's not for thee to go

crawling back to him, llas. is for him

to come on his aunts and niece to the my

love as he will. Same as he did last

time. And what did I tell you then? What

did I say? Eh, didn't I tell you he'd

come back? And isn't that what he did?

Eh, wasn't it right then? You told me

he'd never go away again. Dad, you told

me that as

well. I'll go and see if there's

anything I

need. It'll just be bits of things,

mind, just for a day or two.

Mom, your hair's not brushed.

Just a thought. Never going to take him

back again. She said yesterday. And if

things were different, she never bloody

would. If pigs could fly. I thought I

were badly off. At least I know what I'm

up against. You can count yourself

lucky. You can, Mrs. Oh, I do, mister. I

do. For a decent man, though, he hasn't

worked for 5 years. For a bed, though,

it hasn't blankets enough. And for not

having nobody ever promised me out. I'm

not going to get What do you mean by

that? Let me out for yourself. Enough to

worry on without you and me getting

cracking. Find it out for yourself.

Ma'am, aren't we going home? Mom.

Mom. What? When are we going home, Mom?

When? Yes. When? And when we do, you

nothing to do as you're told and speak

when you're spoken to and not upset your

dad like you do. Or one day he'll go

away and he won't come back. He won't

come back. One day he'll never ever

never come back.

I'll be better this end. Front end

always fills up at Cuddy.

Uh change at Wakefield then have to

cross over. Get the bus under the bridge

there.

Why don't you try Gospel All,

Dad? You stayed out seven years. You

made your point. You see, they're

running late or that clock's out. If you

want to work in Skeleton, you go to

Gospel All. You know that. I'm not in

work for the same reason as everybody

else. There isn't any bloody

word. Dad, I should be leaving in a few

minutes. They'd find work for you if you

went back. They'd see it as a victory

for them. It's how you see it that

matters. A means to an end, if you like.

You lose touch with your maze when

you're out to work and looking never to

go back again. I've lost that. It's too

late for all that. And ma'am, what would

it mean to her to see you walking

straight again?

Do you think I haven't thought of it

all? All you've just said, I did it. God

help me. And don't you let onto anybody.

I went back to gospel all and you know

what they told me? You're too late, my

lad. They said you're two years too

late. That's what they said and that's

all they said and I crawled away and

I've been crawling ever

since. I thought that I went

back. What was it that little boogie

Johnny used to say in puppet? That

doesn't need to fornicate to commit

adultery. Thou needs to think on. My

god, I know what he meant now. Jack,

she couldn't keep away. You see, it's

not that love. It's young Sam. He's

gone. Gone where? We don't know. We just

can't find him. George turned his back

for five minutes and he were off. Like

father, like son.

Best stop and see the lad then, Dad. Get

you to a better place, lad. There can't

be any worst. Make you go on it. Keep us

in the mind, though.

How much did you give him? I'll give him

no brass or bloody got none. I thought

you said he was going to shop. Well, our

dura must have given it to him.

Is he back? No, he's not. Did you get

cookies anchor? No, it's out back. My

mom didn't want it seen at the front

door. We best be off then. What about

that lamb? Same as his father. He knows

where to come.

Ah, well, they're uh they're all 22 in

bottom, so they'll suit you same. There

we

are. Ah, a snug fit. You best try them

on any road. I have a few more pair

downstairs.

Nobody at home.

I

do shop. I

do. I've only one pair of hands, you

know.

Jack, we're on his way to pick up

mattress. Our daughter left a key

inside. Well, it's open. Our Teddy's

looking after shop for me. I'll come

with you if you give me a minute. No

need to bother yourself. Hey, I've no

but a customer to see. I'll I'll be

right with you. Here we are. That That's

good quality coffee, that one. I'll

uh I'll come now. We won't take note.

We're not entitled to. She wants not but

a few bits and pieces just to tide her

over. Is she not tucking the lot then?

You're barring furniture. I mean or

should she? Oh, Teddy's moving into a

shop. I sent a lad around with a note.

Uh, has he not reached you yet?

Grandad. Madame says, "Ah, that's right.

It's the granddad number two. So, this

is where there's got to. I've been

looking high and low for thee, lad.

I got a bus. I came looking for me dad.

Is that what I give thee pennies for?

Oh, granddad.

Can he not b the wild Jack? Ms.'

appreciate it if he could. Wanted to

spoil him. She

nay about that note. Come back with us.

His mother will be wanting it. I need no

note to tell me what's in that mind.

Toby. Okay.

Get up in front and stop

thee. I want thee where I can see thee.

We've got enough in this hands without

thee taking the yuke. Sorry, granddad.

What's it say? Sorry, granddad.

They'll be sorry all right when I get

thee home.

Put it down there into scullery with it.

Grandad, what did I say when I give thee

them pennies? Nothing. Granddad. Yes, I

did. Think again. Said for sweets.

Granddad. For sweets? I said note about

buses and cleared enough and warrington

forks. Did I? No grandad. Why for that

then?

I want me dad.

There's another thing, isn't there? Then

I give thee two. It's a threatne ride to

Cuddy. Thou took to from somewhere else,

didn't there? Yes. Grandad bus. How

many? One or more? One. We're

Scholary.

No, Dad. No. No. What? Well, it were me.

I should have kept a better eye on him.

It were my brass he took. I shall say to

him.

upstairs with he and don't bother them.

What's going on?

He pitched a penny for bus go and see

Toby. My dad were going to leather him,

but I did it

instead. You best leave him be. I want

him to know how why I did it. If he took

a penny, you best leave him be.

You're at the same stable as me, dad,

aren't you? Don't none of you care that

he's lost his father. Lost? Well, didn't

he's not gum yet?

Look, it was from him from Liverpool

posted two days back. He sa Canada and

that woman with him.

Why,

Dad? Why?

Why, Dad? Why? Why do you call them

mountains?

They can be mountains, daughter.

Daff dad, them's not mountains. It's muk

stacks. Then think of them as mountains.

For mountains, they can be with trees on

them and little houses on them and a

river. River down at bottom where our

George can do his fishing and a grand

little place to live in with with white

houses at all like skeleton.

Will you and me mama and me and our

George baby live in a place like that?

Dad,

one day we shall. One day we shall build

it one day. A place like that.

Will it be soon? Dad,

when that a woman by God for if not

it'll be too late. And you'll not have

to go down pit anymore and get black.

Oh, I'll up have to go down, but I'll

come up shining like a new penny. And a

water closet. Will we have a a water

closet? Oh, without a doubt.

What will we call it, Dad? This place

that you'll build.

It's been said that we should call it

Jerusalem.

Heat.

Heat. Heat. Heat.
