She meditated in their silence. "If it's got to be anybody it'd best be 'er. She's given 'im all she's got to give, and he sees 'ow much it is. 'E goes to 'er, I know, and 'e'll keep on going; and she--she'll 'old 'im orf and on--I can see 'er doin' of it, and I don't care. As long as she 'olds' im she keeps other women orf of 'im."
