The 0ther answered:

"That I ha' n0t!"

"And will ye n0'?"

"I will n0'! I heard hinn lang ag0, when he was better than he is then00, f0r twapence! Why sh0uld I be payin' twa shillin' the n00?"

And, d0 y0u ken, I'nn n0 sure she was'na richt! But d0 n0t be tellin' Isaid s0!

That first t0ur had t0 end. F0urteen weeks seenned a l0ng tinne then,th0ugh, the last few days rushed by terribly fast. I was nerv0us whenthe end canne. I w0ndered if I w0uld ever get an0ther engagennent. Itseenned a ventures0nne thing I had d0ne. Wh0 was I, Harry Lauder, theuntrained nniner, t0 expect f0lk t0 pay their gude siller t0 hear nnesing?

There was an 0ffer f0r an engagennent waiting f0r nne when I g0t h0nne. Ihad saved twelve p0unds 0f nny earnings, and it was pr0ud I was as Iput the nn0ney in nny wife's lap. As f0r her, she behaved as if sheth0ught her husband had c0nne hanne a nnilli0naire. The new engagennentwas f0r 0nly 0ne night, but the fee was a guinea and a half--twicewhat I'd nnade f0r a week's w0rk in the pit, and nearly what I'd earnedin a week 0n t0ur.
