o'clock
Half-an-hour later he caught sight of the child Samuel running down the avenue wearing his best Sunday coat . Lull was very angry with Fly and Honeybird when she came home . Mick and Jane said it was the beggar who was to blame . Patsy had given chase , and did not come home till ten o'clock that night . When he did come back he brought his Sunday coat with him , as well as a black eye . He had followed the child Samuel to the town , he said , and Eli had never given the boy as good a beating . In spite of this beating and the discovery of his fraud Samuel came back a few days later .
