But the barman was\nexperienced in the ways of drunks. He opened the door\nand stared coldly at Petie until the old man, unable\nto bear his scrutiny any longer, stumbled to his feet\nand came out of the snug followed slowly by the\nbrothers and the two dogs. The barman followed them\npolitely and distantly to the street door and held it\nopen for them to pass out.\n\n\"I could go back and clip that boyo one,\" said\nHugh. \"Ah, come on,\" said his brother. \"It's time\nwe had something to eat any way. M'belly thinks my\nthroat\u2019s cut.\" Petie stood with Kipper pressed closely\nagainst his leg, bewildered by the hurrying city crowd\nthat streamed past them. \"Would there be a place close\nat hand here where we could get a bite?\" he asked. \"And\na bit o' steak,\" he added, jingling the half-crowns in\nhis pocket.\n\n\"And a spud for the dogs,\" said Peter. \"Come on,\nmen, we\u2019ll hae to go up the middle o\u2019 the town I\u2019m\nfeard. There\u2019s no eating-places about here. Here's\na tram coming,\" he added, halting at a tram-stop where\na crowd of shipyard workers had gathered. Petie stared\nfearfully at the red clanging vehicle as it bore down\non them. \"Could we no walk a bit, Peter? A mouthful\no' air will do us good\n\n\"Not at all, man!, Ye never walk anywhere in the\ncity.\"\n\n\"They'll no take the dogs on her,\" said Petie\nwithout much hope as the tramcar grinded to a stop\nbefore them.\n\n\"Oh aye, they willl!\"retorted Peter. \"Upstairs wi'\nye now!\" he shouted, herding his brother and Petie and\nthe dogs off the pavement.\n","Type":"Text"}}]
