"it's a-movin'," he said to me as he passed; "a-screwin' and a-screwin' out. i don't like it. i'm a-goin' 'ome, i am." i went on to the crowd. there were really, i should think, two or three hundred people elbowing and jostling one another, the one or two ladies there being by no means the least active.
