[Here, with apologies, this desperate attempt to represent her dialect without a phoic alphabet must be abandoned as unintelligible outside London.] THE DAUGHTER Do nothing of the sort, mother. The idea! THE MOTHER Please allow me, Clara. Have you any pennies? THE DAUGHTER No. I39。 ve nothing smaller than sixpence. THE FLOWER GIRL [hopefully] I can give you change for a tanner, kind lady. THE MOTHER [to Clara] Give it to me. [Clara parts reluctantly]. Now [to the girl] This is for your flowers. THE FLOWER GIRL Thank you kindly, lady. THE DAUGHTER Make her give you the change. These things are only a penny a bunch. THE MOTHER Do hold your tongue, Clara. [To the girl]. You can keep the change. THE FLOWER GIRL Oh, thank you, lady. THE MOTHER Now tell me how you know that young gentleman39。 s name. THE FLOWER GIRL I didnt. THE MOTHER I heard you call him by it. Dont try to deceive me. THE FLOWER GIRL [protesting] Whos trying to deceive you? I called him Freddy or Charlie same as you might yourself if you was talking to a stranger and wished to be pleasant. [She sits down beside her basket]. THE DAUGHTER Sixpence thrown away! Really, mamma, you might have spared Freddy that. [She retreats in disgust behind the pillar].
