Billy held out the pan to his chum and waited until Maurice had filled his pockets. Then he asked: "Where's she gone?" And placing his battered hat jauntily on his scanty locks, Harry picked up his jug and was lost amid the shadows. "I saw her," said Mr Lawrence. "She is on her hands and knees. What did you say?".
