‘Us? What do you mean?’
‘Me, and the pot, and the sovereigns, and the gull.’
‘I’ll risk it,’ said Jeremiah; ‘but I don’t want the gull no more than I do the pot.’
‘Who takes me takes the gull, and he who takes the money must have the ginger pot also to hold it in.’
‘What do you say, Jael? Shall I risk it?’
‘Yes,’ she said. ‘Why not? We are both as strong as ever we are likely to be, and able to keep house together.’
Afar off stood Shamgar. He had caught sight of the two.
‘Ah,’ said he, ‘there they are—that pair of chattering good-for-nothing, mischievous jays—Jael and Jerry—J. and J. Looking on, were they, whilst I was digging up the pot. I shouldn’t be surprised if Jael were to tell that fellow all about it. I must hide it elsewhere. I don’t trust him or any one knowing where the girl’s money is hid. It would be as bad as putting it in a bank, or speculating with it. I wonder what they’re a-talking about? A pair of darned chattering, good-for-nothing, pecking, mischievous jays. Up to wickedness of some sort, I’ll be bound. Whatever did my wife, Clementina, mean by leaving of me with that girl to bring up. I wish she’d come back from the world of spirits, just for a moment—I wish she would—and, by Gorr! I’d pull her nose.’
