He
says
tick-tack
to
the
clock
,
"
Irene
said
,
trying
to
snare
me
.
"
Pooh
!
"
said
I.
"
Other
little
'
uns
jest
says
'
tick-tick
,
"'
she
told
me
,
with
a
flush
of
pride
.
"
I
prefer
'
tick-tick
,
"'
I
said
,
whereat
she
departed
in
dudgeon
.
Had
they
had
the
sense
to
wheel
him
behind
a
tree
and
leave
him
,
I
would
have
looked
,
but
as
they
lacked
it
,
I
decided
to
wait
until
he
could
walk
,
when
it
would
be
more
easy
to
waylay
him
.
However
,
he
was
a
cautious
little
gorbal
who
,
after
many
threats
to
rise
,
always
seemed
to
come
to
the
conclusion
that
he
might
do
worse
than
remain
where
he
was
,
and
when
he
had
completed
his
first
year
I
lost
patience
with
him
.
"
When
I
was
his
age
,
"
I
said
to
Irene
,
"
I
was
running
about
.
"
I
consulted
them
casually
about
this
matter
at
the
club
,
and
they
had
all
been
running
about
at
a
year
old
.
I
made
this
nurse
the
following
offer
:
If
she
would
bring
the
dilatory
boy
to
my
rooms
and
leave
him
there
for
half
an
hour
I
would
look
at
him
.
At
first
Mary
,
to
whom
the
offer
was
passed
on
,
rejected
it
with
hauteur
,
but
presently
she
wavered
,
and
the
upshot
was
that
Irene
,
looking
scornful
and
anxious
,
arrived
one
day
with
the
perambulator
.
Without
casting
eyes
on
its
occupant
,
I
pointed
Irene
to
the
door
:
"
In
half-an-hour
,
"
I
said
.
She
begged
permission
to
remain
,
and
promised
to
turn
her
back
,
and
so
on
,
but
I
was
obdurate
,
and
she
then
delivered
herself
of
a
passionately
affectionate
farewell
to
her
charge
,
which
was
really
all
directed
against
me
,
and
ended
with
these
powerful
words
:
"
And
if
he
takes
off
your
socks
,
my
pretty
,
may
he
be
blasted
for
evermore
.
"
"
I
shall
probably
take
off
her
socks
,
"
I
said
carelessly
to
this
.
