CHAPTER XIX The Scarlet Horse Coterie One of the indirect results of Mil - lie's romance was the foregathering each Friday night under the hospi- table roof of the Scant Horse of a number of genial and convivial Spirits. It was Bindle's practice to spend the two hours during which Millie and, Charlie Dixon were at the cinema in drinking a pint of beer at the Sarelet Horse and etchanging ideas wit anyone who showed himself con-. versationally inclined. In time Bindle's frie'nds and ac- quaintances got to knew of this prac- tice, and it became their custom to drop into "the 'Orse to 'ear ole Joe tell the tale." Ginger would come over from Chis- wick, Huggles from -West Kensington, Wilkes from Hammersmith, and one man regularly mhde the journey from Tottenham Court Road, At first, they had met in the public bar, but later, through the diplomacy of Bindle, who had explained to the proprietor that "yer gets more thirsty in a little place than wot yer does in a big 'un, 'cause it's 'otter,' they had been granted the use of a small room. Sometimes the proprietor himself would join the company. One September evening, having handed over Millie to her cavalier with strict injunctions to be outside' the Cinema at ten sharp, Bindle turn- ed his own steps towards the Mar - let Horse. As he entered he was greeted with that cordiality to which he had be- come accustomed. Calling for a pint of beer, he seated himself beside a rough looking laborer knovvn as "Rud- dy" Bill on account of the extreme picturesqueness and sustained direct- ness of his language. On Bindle's arrival Bill had 'been delivering hisnself of an opinion, ac- companied by a string of explicatory oaths and obscenities that obviously ; tillel?artatAed his hearers rough though they were. - Waiting his opportunity, Bideie pre- sently remarked quite casually: "Words such as 'damn' and "ell," like beer and tobacco was sent to sort of 'elp us. along, 'specially them wot is married. Where'd I be wi' Mrs., B. if.I 'adn't 'ell an' a few other things to fall back on? No!" he continued after a moment's pause, "I don't 'old wi' swearint" He turned and looked at Ruddy Bill as if seeking confirma- tion of his view. "'Oo the blinkin"ell arst wot you wiv?" demanded Bill truculently, and with much adornm.ent of lan- guage. Bindle proceeded deliberately to light his pipe as if he had not heard the question; then, when it was draw- ing to his entire satisfaction, he rais- ed his eyes and gazed at Bill over iday nights at the y subjects came up arriages, politics, t with in turn, but to keep the talk away, from the War to which time after time it ret 'reed with the same persistency that the needle of the compass flutters lback to the north.
