IV

Yes, Mr. Smeeth was going home. It never occurred to him to go and hear

what was left of the concert. He had done with Brahms & Co. for a long

time, perhaps for ever. As he waited for his tram, he remembered that

tune again--Ta _tum_ ta ta _tum_ tum--and now it seemed like something

that was going on a long, long way off, like a birthday party in

Australia. He said good-bye to that tune. As the tram went lumbering

and groaning up the City Road, he said good-bye to many things.

He was feeling rather queer. He had missed his usual evening meal and

was empty; that double whisky had had its effect; there was undoubtedly

a pain somewhere in his side; and then of course there was the shock

of the bad news. He had for years moved gingerly, apprehensively,

through a world in which the worst might happen at any moment. The

worst had happened. He could have said to himself, with satisfaction,

“What did I tell you?” Perhaps there ought not to have been any shock.

But it was not so simple as that. He had never expected to be hurled

out of his job in this fashion. He had always seen danger coming from

many quarters, but nevertheless this blow had arrived from quite an

unexpected quarter. The more he thought about it, the angrier he grew.

His anger was not directed against Mr. Dersingham, not even against

Golspie, but against the whole world, the very nature of things.

You go on for years and years building up a position for yourself until

at last you have a place of your own, a little world of your own, in

which the figures do what you tell them to do, the books reveal their

secrets, the fellows at the bank say “Good morning, Mr. Smeeth,” and

everything is snug and sensible. Then a chap turns up from nowhere,

looks at a trade directory and happens to choose your firm, wanders in

to Angel Pavement, and then, in less than six months’ time, without

your having any hand or say in it, he blows you clean out of it all,

without even knowing or caring a thing about it. You are quietly

finishing off for the day, and then suddenly--bang! What was the

good of trams going up and down the City Road and conductors taking

fares and nobody smoking inside or spitting on top under penalty of a

fine? What was the good of having a City Road at all and lighting it

with street lamps and opening shops and sending policemen to walk up

and down it; what was the good of paying rates and taxes and shaving

yourself and seeing that you had a clean collar and going round to

doctors and dentists and reading the newspapers and voting, if this is

what could happen any minute? My God!--what was the good of it all?

This blanched middle-aged man, sitting in a corner of the moving tram,

an unlighted pipe trembling beneath his grey moustache, the wrinkles

on his face deeper than ever, peered through his glasses now at the

familiar panorama of the North London roads and saw not a glimmer of

it. His gaze was really fixed on the crazy structure of things, and

of that he could make neither head nor tail. He was shaking a little,

not with fear, but with indignation. For years there had been a great

shadow haunting and terrifying him, for he had seen all the little

lighted things of his life menaced by it. Now the lights had gone,

blown out; he sat in the shadow itself; the tram was crawling through

it; the Stoke Newington Road was in it; and all his fear had been used

up before by that shadow, when he had been a man who had something

precious to lose. Now he had lost it. In a week or two, he would have

to start again, and at a time when even the boys were lining up in

their hundreds for a chance of a mere beginning at ten shillings a

week. It wasn’t good enough. That was the phrase he used, the first

that sprang into his mind, and he repeated it over and over again

with tremendous emphasis. “Not good enough,” he said as he left the

tram. “Not good enough,” as he made his way to Chaucer Road, “not good

enough.”

It was only too evident, he told himself grimly, that they were not

expecting him back so soon at 17, Chaucer Road. Everything seemed to

be in full swing there. You might have thought somebody had just been

left a fortune. He heard a great noise coming from the front room, and

he saw a light in the dining-room. He chose the dining-room, and found

George there, tinkering about with the wireless set.

“Who’s in there?” asked Mr. Smeeth.

“The Mitty crowd,” said George, with a tiny grin. “I came in here out

of the way. I’ve had enough of that lot. Mitty owes me a quid, too.

He’s no good.” He looked curiously at his father. “Anything up, Dad?”

“You got anything to do yet, George?”

“Not yet. I thought I was on to something to-day, but it was no go. I’m

going round to see a chap to-morrow morning, big garage up at Stamford

Hill. Why? Anything wrong?”

“Yes. I look like being out of a job within the next fortnight, and you

know what that means.”

It was not the tragedy to George that it was to his father, not merely

because George was much younger, but also because his whole outlook

was different, for he lived in a newer world in which jobs came and

went and nobody troubled to spend years consolidating a position.

Nevertheless, the youth had sufficient imagination to realise what this

meant to his father. “I’m sorry about that, Dad--by gosh, I am! Rotten

luck, isn’t it? How’d it happen? They’d never sack you, would they? Has

the firm gone broke?”

“That’s it. Try and get something as soon as you can, George. You know

how we’ll be fixed.”

“Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll get something soon, something good, too. Edna’s

not earning anything now, either, is she? She’d better make another

start, too, hadn’t she?”

“I’ll attend to that. We’ll all have to make another start now, if

you ask me,” said Mr. Smeeth grimly. They looked at one another, with

approval on both sides, in silence for a moment. They could hear sounds

of merriment from the other room. “Seem to be enjoying themselves in

there,” said Mr. Smeeth, his temper rising.

George came nearer. “Dad, boot ’em out. I would if it was my house. I

told mother so, too----”

“Taking something on yourself, boy, aren’t you, these days?”

“Well, I did. I can’t stand that lot. That’s why I came in here.”

Mr. Smeeth nodded. “That’s just what I’m going to do, George. I want

some peace and quietness to-night, and I’m going to have it.” He walked

out, and his son followed him.

The front room was just as it had been the first time the Mitty family

visited them. There were only five people in it, Mitty and his wife

and daughter, Mrs. Smeeth and Edna, but it seemed quite crowded and

as thick, hot, and smelly, as if people had been eating, drinking

and smoking in it for weeks. It made Mr. Smeeth feel very angry and

disgusted.

Mrs. Smeeth stared at him, and looked uneasy. “Hello, Dad,” she cried.

“I didn’t expect you back so soon.”

“So it seems.”

“Didn’t you go to the concert?”

Fred Mitty, very flushed, was about to help himself from a bottle that

stood, with other bottles, glasses, and some cake and biscuits, on a

little table in the centre of the room. He was leaning forward, but

straightened himself when he saw Mr. Smeeth standing there. “Thought

you was having some classical music to-night, Pa,” he roared. “Gave it

a miss, eh?”

Mr. Smeeth advanced into the room, breathing hard. He looked at Mitty.

“I’ve been working hard,” he said pointedly, “and I want some peace and

quietness now. So I’ll say Good-night.”

“What d’you mean, Dad?” cried Mrs. Smeeth.

But the irrepressible Fred could not resist this. “Well, night-night,

Pa,” he yelled, “if you’re going to bed. Don’t let me keep you.” He

looked round with a grin, asking for applause, and got it from the two

girls, who giggled. Then he made a move towards the bottle again.

“I’m not going to bed, just yet,” said Mr. Smeeth, his voice trembling.

“But you’re going home. That’s what I meant.”

“Here, half a minute, Dad.” Mrs. Smeeth’s voice rose in indignation.

“What a way to talk!”

“I should think so indeed,” cried Mrs. Mitty, sitting up sharply.

“For the more we are too-gether,” Fred sang, as his hand closed round

the whisky bottle, “the merrier we will bee-yer.”

The fuse had been burning briskly for some time, and now its travelling

spark reached the explosive. Mr. Smeeth blew up. “Get out!” he screamed

at Mitty. “Get out of here! Go on! Get out!”

“That’s the stuff,” shouted George from the doorway.

But that scream was not enough for such an explosion of wrath. Two

seconds later, Mr. Smeeth had flung down the little table and sent

whisky and port and dirty glasses and cake and biscuits and oranges

flying about the room. All was roaring chaos, with Fred Mitty shouting,

the two wives screaming, Dot Mitty shrieking with laughter, Edna

bursting into tears, George charging forward, and Mr. Smeeth standing

in the middle, bellowing and stamping among the ruins. All the others

jumped up and there was a pushing and jostling and Mr. Smeeth lost his

eyeglasses and had no hope of finding them in the scrimmage. Nothing

could be plainly heard in the din, and now, for Mr. Smeeth, robbed

of his glasses, nothing could be plainly seen. His wife seemed to be

shaking his arm and shrieking at him; Mrs. Mitty seemed to have hurled

herself at Fred, to prevent further violence; and George appeared to

be taking a hand in all the proceedings. But in another minute, he was

alone in the room, and all the others seemed to be talking at the top

of their voices outside. Feeling shaky, he made a step or two towards

a chair, and trod on some glass. His own eyeglasses were still on

the floor somewhere, and no doubt somebody had trodden on them. He

collapsed into the chair, and in a dazed fashion removed a strange

soggy substance from his left bootsole. It was what had once been a

very generous slice of sandwich cake. Then a piece of broken glass, a

jagged fragment of tumbler, cut his hand. He felt ill. It would not

have been very difficult for him to have been sick on the spot. The

sound of the voices outside did not abate for several minutes, but he

stayed where he was. They could argue it out between them, could say

and do what they liked; he didn’t care.

The door had been left open, and he heard the Mitty family go, and

then he heard George say something to Mrs. Smeeth and Edna. The three

of them went into the dining-room and closed the door behind them, but

the sound of their voices, raised in heated discussion, came to him in

his armchair. He had groped about a little with the hand that was not

cut, but all he had found were two biscuits and these he had eaten in

that mechanical fashion in which biscuits are nearly always eaten. The

voices were lower now and suggested that their owners were no longer

merely shouting at one another, but were really talking. More minutes

passed, and then he heard Edna go upstairs to bed. Then, after a short

interval, during which he listened intently, shakily, to every sound,

his wife came into the room. She did not burst in, as he had expected

her to do; she came in quietly and shut the door after her. But this

did not necessarily mean that there would not be a storm, and he braced

himself to meet it.

There was no storm, however. Mrs. Smeeth’s first fury had passed,

though she was still very agitated. “If it hadn’t been for George, I

was going to say something to you, Herbert, you wouldn’t forget for a

long, long time. But he says you’re very upset about your work.”

“I am,” said Mr. Smeeth in a very low voice.

“He says you’re going to lose your job. Is that right?”

“That’s right, Edie. It’s all up with Twigg and Dersingham. In a week

or two I’ll be finding myself without a job.”

“You’re sure this time, Dad? I mean--it’s not one of your false alarms,

is it?”

“I wish it was. No, there’s no false alarm about it this time.”

“Mind you,” cried Mrs. Smeeth hastily, shakily, “that’s no reason why

you should have gone and behaved like this. My word, if anybody’d told

me you’d have gone and done a thing like that--you of all men--my

word, I’d have told _them_ something! Smashing the place up, too! Look

at this room! Look at yourself! But I suppose if you were upset, you

weren’t responsible. Here, Dad, are you sure, really sure, about your

job? You’re not--you’re not trying to frighten me again, are you?”

“No, of course I’m not.”

“I can’t believe it. Here, what happened?”

He tried to tell her what had happened, and at least succeeded in

convincing her that he was entirely serious. “And if you think I’m

going to get another job as good as that, or a job worth having at all,

in a hurry, you’re mistaken, Edie. I know what it is, with office jobs;

and it’ll have to be an office job because that’s what I’ve always

done. I’m nearly fifty, and I look it. I dare say I look older----”

“That you don’t, Dad.”

“Well, that’s your opinion, but you won’t be employing me. I know what

it is.” And there came back to him suddenly, poignantly, the memory of

that tiny scene outside the office door, several months ago, when he

had said to that anxious man, the last in the line of applicants, “Good

luck!” and had received the ghost of a smile. “There are four of us

here. George is out of work, though he might get something soon. He’s a

good lad, really. There’s Edna. She’s earning nothing now.”

“She will be before this time next week,” said Mrs. Smeeth quickly.

“I’ll see to that.”

“She might be, and then again, she might not. And in a week or two I’ll

be among the unemployed. And we’ve got about forty odd pounds saved up,

that’s what we’ve got, all told, unless you count this furniture.”

“I can work,” cried Mrs. Smeeth fiercely. “You needn’t think there’ll

be me to keep in idleness. I’ll get something. I’ll go out charring

first.”

“But I don’t want you to go out charring,” Mr. Smeeth told her, almost

shouting. “I didn’t marry you and I haven’t worked all this time, never

missing a minute if I could help it, and we didn’t save and plan to

get this home together, so you could go out charring. My God, it’s not

good enough. When I think of the way I’ve worked and planned and gone

without things to get us a decent position----!” His voice dropped.

“We’ll manage somehow.” And having said this, Mrs. Smeeth, the gay and

confident partner, suddenly and astonishingly burst into tears.

“Manage? We’ll have to manage,” Mr. Smeeth had begun, grimly. Then he

changed his tone. “Here, Edie. That’s all right, that’s all right. Now

then, now then. I’m sorry I lost my temper too----”

“It was my fault,” she sobbed. “Yes, it is. I deserved it. I know I’ve

spent too much money. Yes, I have.”

“Oh, never mind. You weren’t to know the firm was going broke like

that. I didn’t know myself. Never more surprised in my life. Here,

Edie. Now then, now then.” He was standing beside her now.

“Oh dear,” she gasped, a few minutes later, trying to wipe her eyes.

She was both laughing and crying now. “Oh, dear, dear, dear, dear!”

He looked at her solemnly.

“Oh dear, dear, you do look a sight, Dad. I don’t know who looks the

worst, you or this room. I never saw such a sketch, though I expect I’m

bad enough, goodness knows!”

“I’ve dropped my eyeglasses, that’s all that’s wrong with me,” Mr.

Smeeth announced, not without dignity.

“I can see that, Dad, I can see that,” she told him, dabbing at her

face. “Here, I’ll look for them. You sit down. But, mind you, if

they’re broken, don’t blame me. It wasn’t me that started throwing

things about to-night, was it? Here they are.”

“Broken?”

“Yes, somebody made no mistake when they trod on them. You’ll have to

wear your old ones for a day or two, that’s all. I’ll go and get them

for you, and then you can help me to clear this mess up.”

“All right, Edie.” Mr. Smeeth hesitated. “Is there anything to eat in

the house? I’m getting hungry now.”

“Didn’t you have anything? Haven’t you had anything at all to-night?

You silly man, why didn’t you say so? I’ll go and get you something

now. You go and get your glasses, you know where they are--in the

drawer upstairs. If you can’t see them, you can feel for them. Yes, in

the top drawer. And I’ll get you something to eat while you’re finding

them. Oh dear, what a life! Still, it’s the only one we’ve got, I

suppose, so we’d better make what we can out of it.”

She bustled out and Mr. Smeeth followed her. He was very shortsighted,

almost helpless without his glasses, and after he had stumbled upstairs

to their bedroom he spent some time groping about for the old pair.

Annoyed by the dim shapelessness of everything, he told himself that

he ought to have been wearing his glasses before he started on such a

search. Then he saw the irony of it and was quite entertained for a

few moments, during which he felt for the first time for a long while

a curiously reassuring detachment from things, and when he found the

old glasses and put them on, he seemed, for one brief interval, to be

staring at another and smaller world, and it was a world that could

play all manner of tricks with Herbert Norman Smeeth but could never

capture, swallow, and digest the whole of him. The newly-born ironist

then returned downstairs, to eat his supper.

_Epilogue_

Mr. Golspie, pottering about in his cabin, would not have known she

was moving off if he had not suddenly seen a blue funnel go wandering

across the open porthole. He could feel no motion, but then she was not

moving under her own steam, but was being taken out of the docks by

tugs. Mr. Golspie put his head into the next cabin, where his daughter

was still fussing about with her things. “We’re off,” he said, grinning

at her. Lena showed no sign of excitement. You might have thought she

had been travelling to the River Plate all her life.

“Coming out?” said her father.

“Not yet. Are we really going? There doesn’t seem to be any excitement.”

“There isn’t. If that’s what you want, we ought to have gone on a

liner, and then you’d have had palaver enough--kissing and crying and

cheering and God knows what. These boats do it quietly.”

“Well, I’m disappointed. But I’ll come out when there’s something to

see and I’ve put these things away. I’m rather tired of staring at

these silly docks, though. Tell me when anything happens.”

He nodded, grinned again at her, then withdrew, and went out on to the

main deck, where several of the other passengers were standing. There

were only a dozen passengers all told, for this was primarily a cargo

boat. One of these fellow travellers caught Mr. Golspie’s eye, nodded,

and then came nearer. They had exchanged a few remarks already, each

having recognised in the other an old hand and a kindred spirit. They

knew even now that the moment the steward was at liberty to dispense

his liquors, they would be having a drink together, the first of

many, many drinks. This other man, Sugden, was a tallish fellow with

a long bony face and a vast shaven upper lip, a Lancashire man who

travelled for some chemical firm. He had one of those hard, flat,

Lancashire voices that give every statement they make a lugubrious and

disillusioned air.

“Moving,” that voice announced now, to Mr. Golspie.

“Moving,” said Mr. Golspie.

They stood together, two solid middle-aged men, and together they

watched the long line of masts and funnels in the Royal Albert Dock go

sliding away. They were still in London, and no great distance from the

buses and trams, the teashops and the pubs, yet all that London seemed

to have disappeared long ago. Here was another city with streets and

squares of dark water, a city of wharves and sheds, masts and funnels

and cranes, barges, tugs, and lighters. Wherever you looked there

appeared to be nothing but these things, though in the far distance a

haze of smoke, hanging above the multitudinous chimney-pots of Poplar

and Bow, suggested that the other London, the brick and paving-stone

London, was still there. It was not a bad morning for the time of

year. Now and then the sunlight struggled through and set the water

glittering or brought out ghostly rainbow hues on the darker oilier

patches.

“This is where they bring all the meat,” said Sugden. “This, and

Liverpool. If you blocked this place up for a week or two, a lot o’

people would find themselves without their Sunday dinners. Not me,

though. Give me English meat, when I can get it. And when I’m at home,

I insist on having it. Get enough o’ the other sort when I’m away.”

“You’ve been on these boats before, haven’t you?”

“I have. I’ve been on this very ship twice before. They know me here.

You ask ’em.”

“Food all right?”

“Suits me,” replied Sugden. “Should suit you, too. Good quality and

plenty of it. Nothing fancy, y’know--not like these liners, with their

chefs and what not--but plenty o’ good solid stuff. That’s what I like.”

Apparently it was what Mr. Golspie liked too. He produced a cigar

case, and the two men lit up and through a fragrant dribble of smoke

regarded the moving docks with half-closed eyes and a vague air of

patronage.

“This port of London’s a bit of an eye-opener to me,” Mr. Golspie

remarked.

“Ever been all round it? Tremendous--oh tremendous! There’s the West

India Docks further up here, and then the Surrey Commercial on the

other side. You never saw such a place. It’s a hard day’s work looking

round the Surrey Commercial. Chap tried to show me once, but I gave it

up. And then you’ve got the London Docks further up still. And Tilbury,

of course. If you go out on one of the regular liners and mail boats,

you get on down at Tilbury. I’ve done that once or twice, but this

suits me better. When I’m aboard a ship, I like to travel quietly. I

don’t like all this floating hotel, song-and-dance, fancy-dress ball

business. What d’you say?”

“Haven’t been on one of those big ships for donkeys’ years,” Mr.

Golspie confessed. “I’ve never been out to South America before,

as a matter of fact. I’ve been to the States, in my time, and I’ve

been to Central America, but not to south. But an old pal of mine’s

out there--Montevideo’s his headquarters--and he’s put up a good

proposition, so I’m going to see what it looks like.”

“Plenty o’ money there, plenty. Only place where there is now, there

and the States. I shouldn’t like to live there though. Wouldn’t suit

me.”

“And where do you live when you’re at home?”

“St. Helens. That’s where my firm is, and that’s where I live. Been

there all my life. D’you know it?”

“Saw it once from the train,” Mr. Golspie replied. “Bit ugly, isn’t it?”

Mr. Sugden was not surprised. Obviously he had heard this before. “Yes,

it’s a bit ugly, if you’re not used to it. But I’m a bit ugly myself.

And if it comes to that, you’re no beauty.” And he roared with laughter.

Mr. Golspie laughed too, companionably. They strolled round the deck,

on which Miss Lena Golspie, in a fur coat and with a scarlet scarf

about her neck, soon made an appearance, to the delight of several of

the younger male passengers and ship’s officers, who had been waiting

for this moment, after hoping, with the despair born of many previous

disappointments, that she was not merely a fleeting vision, one of

those lovely creatures who come aboard for an hour or two and then

depart, leaving the whole ship under a shadow. She joined her father

and was introduced to Mr. Sugden (not an impressionable man), and then

wandered away, to stare with disdainful interest at the other ships

and to gather out of the corners of her brilliant eyes a good deal of

exciting preliminary information about her fellow passengers. The scene

before her--the ship had stopped now in that unaccountable fashion that

ships have--seemed to her very ugly and dull, and it was incredible

that this dirty water and drab messiness should be the beginning of a

voyage to South America, of which her fancy entertained the liveliest

and most exciting pictures, chiefly derived from the films. After that

awful night with the boy from the office, she had been only too glad to

leave London, which seemed to her, on the whole, a stupid place, but

she could hardly believe now that in a fortnight or so she would be

staring at South American young men with black side-whiskers and absurd

hats. She was annoyed with the ship for stopping like this, as if it

had nothing better to do than loiter about these dingy sheds and flat

boats full of barrels, and when one of the officers hung about, looking

as if he wanted to pour out information, she gave him a haughty glance

and walked away.

Her father and his new acquaintance, having finished their cigars,

leaned over the rail, and decided that they were ready for lunch.

Meanwhile, they talked idly.

“I don’t blame you,” said Mr. Sugden. “I don’t like London

myself--never did. I had a year there once. Didn’t like it at all. I

couldn’t get on with the Londoners--too much of this haw-haw-haw stuff

and the striped trousers and black coat and white spat business. Didn’t

suit me, I can tell you. They thought they were smart, too.”

“They’re not--most of ’em,” said Mr. Golspie. “I soon found that out.”

“So did I,” the other continued in his curiously flat mournful voice,

“and when I did find it out and told ’em as much, they didn’t like it.

No, they didn’t like it.” Mr. Sugden did not go on to explain why they

should have liked it. He merely repeated several times more that they

didn’t like it. But he was yawning rather than talking.

“Well, I’ve just had about four or five months of it,” said Mr.

Golspie, indifferently, “and that was quite enough for me. They’re half

dead, most of ’em--half dead. No dash. No guts. I want a place where

everybody’s alive, where there’s something doing.”

“Where were you in London?”

“What--working? Well, my headquarters were in a funny little street--I

don’t suppose you’ve heard of it--down in the City it is.”

“I know the City fairly well.”

“I wonder if you know this place. I’d never heard of it before. Angel

Pavement.”

“Angel Pavement? No, I never heard of that. You win. Well, I must say

I’m ready for my lunch. I think I’ll slip down and wash my hands. Well,

_well_, well, we-ell.” He sang these, at the same time stifling a yawn.

“Meet any angels there?”

“What, in Angel Pavement? I can’t say I did.”

“Not on view, eh?”

“Not while I was there. I met somebody who nearly turned into one, but

not quite. No, they were all just human, and they hadn’t got too dam’

much of that. I was sorry for the poor devils--some of ’em.”

“All I’m sorry for just now is my inside,” said Mr. Sugden, with great

deliberation. “It’s crying out for a piece of steak nicely done and a

few chips. Hello, there go the Customs chaps. We ought to be moving

again soon. And--my word!--it’s time they thought about a bit o’ lunch.

Look at the time. Let’s go down.”

“Listen. That’s it,” said Mr. Golspie. “Come on. Oh, I’ll get hold of

that daughter of mine.”

When they returned after lunch, they found that they had left the docks

behind and were now in the river. There was a new chill freshness in

the air and a vague hint of the sea. On one side, the last of Woolwich

was straggling past, with a misty Shooters Hill behind; and on the

other side there were some old piers and a gas works.

“Better take a last look at London,” said Mr. Golspie to his daughter,

as they walked round the deck. “There it is, see?”

“There’s nothing to see,” said Lena, looking back at the glistening

streaky water and the haze and shadows beyond. “Not worth looking at.”

“All gone in smoke, eh? I mean the proper London. As a matter of fact,

we’re not out of London yet. That’s right, isn’t it?”

“Not quite out of it yet,” replied Mr. Sugden, “but you’ve seen all

there is to see. I think I’ll go down and have my little afternoon

snooze.”

A string of barges passed them, moving slowly on to the very heart of

the city. A gull dropped, wheeled, flashed, was gone, and with it went

what little sun there was. The gleam faded from the face of the river;

a chill wind stirred; the distant banks, a higgledy-piggledy of little

buildings and green patches, retreated; and even the smoky haze of

London city slipped away from them, thinning out into grey sky. “Well,

the sun’s gone in,” said Mr. Golspie, “so I’ll go in, too.” Somewhere a

steamer hooted twice out of the ghostliness. He gave a last look, then

turned away. “And that’s that.”
