One minute to ten
Bert resolved that he would tell him what Crass had been saying to Easton . Just fancy , the cheek of a rotter like Crass , trying to get Owen the sack !

His legs were still aching very badly . He could not see the hands of the clock moving , but they were creeping on all the same .
