lying drunk at full length on a bench, so that the two strangers had
to wait until I had finished my meal before they could get a seat
at the table, for, with the exception of the drover, all the other
"narks" had had their supper.

The blacksmith had not paid his rent for two or three nights, and the
landlady--a very old woman--had ordered the deputy not to allow him
to go to bed. While I was asleep that night, I was suddenly awaked
by a slap on the face, and a croaking voice, which said--"Out of my
house, blacksmith." When I opened my eyes, I saw an old withered
face bending over mine--there must have been a hundred years in that
face. "I am not the blacksmith," I said feebly. "Liar," she shrieked,
holding the candle near my face. However, she saw her mistake, and
went away muttering, without making any apology for her mistake. No
stranger would ever think of staying two nights in a house like that.

Of course, in a house where there is only one "nark," he tries to
ingratiate himself with casual men, for the sake of social company,
but they do not encourage his advances, knowing how careful they
must be of what they say. They are suspicious of him, in spite of his
good-natured offers to oblige them with a shake of pepper. By the
way, the sight of a pepper-box in a lodging-house kitchen is always a
sure sign that the man behind it is a "nark." Wanderers, however much
trouble they take to carry tea, salt, soap, thread, needle, comb,
and many other little things which must not interfere with space for
food--would never think of carrying a pepper-box, though they may
carry a little pepper in paper.

No, a "nark" is not a desirable companion, and to inform a tramp that
he is going to a house that is full of them, is to daunt him more
than to say that the teapots are spoutless and cracked, the saucers
have no rims, the beds are dirty, and that the fire is small and
often

 lying drunk at wide duration on a bench, so that the two strangers had

 The blacksmith had not paid his economic rent for two or three nights, and the

 Of course, in a firm where there is only one " nark, " he try to

 but they do not encourage his improvement, know how careful they 
 must be of what they say. They are suspicious of him, in malice of his 
 good - natured offers to oblige them with a shake of pepper. By the 
 way, the batch of a pepper - box in a lodging - house kitchen is constantly a 
 sure augury that the man behind it is a " nark. " Wanderers, however much
