Then enjoyment at high tide; another dance proposed; Sal trying hard to persuade Dad to take Mother or Mrs。 Maloney up; Dad saying 〃Tut; tut; tut!〃when in popped Dave; and stood near the door。  He had n't changed his clothes; and was grease from top to toe。  A saddle…strap was in one hand; his Sunday clothes; tied up in a handkerchief; in the other; and his presence made the room smell just like a woolshed。

〃Hello; Dave!〃 shouted everyone。  He said 〃Well!〃 and dropped his hat in a corner。  No fuss; no kissing; no nothing about Dave。  Mother asked if he did n't see Kate and Sandy (both were smiling across the room at him); and he said 〃Yairs〃; then went out to have a wash。

All night they danceduntil the cocks crewuntil the darkness gave way to the dawnuntil the fowls left the roost and came round the dooruntil it was Christmas Day!
