"
"
"
In the city, please thee, sir. Offal Court, out of Pudding Lane."
Offal Court! Truly 'tis another odd one. Hast parents?"
Parents have I, sir, and a grand-dam likewise that is but indifferently
precious to me, God forgive me if it be offence to say it--also twin
sisters, Nan and Bet."

"
Then is thy grand-dam not over kind to thee, I take it?"
Neither to any other is she, so please your worship. She hath a wicked
heart, and worketh evil all her days."
"
Doth she mistreat thee?"
"There be times that she stayeth her hand, being asleep or overcome with
drink; but when she hath her judgment clear again, she maketh it up to me
with goodly beatings."
A fierce look came into the little prince's eyes, and he cried out--
"
What! Beatings?"
