ABSTRACT

BEING both strong of body and proud of spirit, Billy Fortune sent the door of the "padding ken" flying back on its hinges with such a bang, that, for the moment, Mrs. Lully, who was smoking her pipe by the fireside, made sure the police were down upon her. There were four shillings in Billy Fortune's pocket, and the arrogance of wealth was strong upon him. He made the door do footman's work, and announce his gentlemanly entrance.
