His face was bandaged up , and when ' e come in he walked feeble-like and spoke in a faint sort o ' voice . Smith , the landlord , got ` im a easy-chair and a couple of pillers out o ' the parlour , and Bill sat there like a king , telling us all his sufferings and wot it felt like to be shot . I always have said wot a good thing beer is , and it done Bill more good than doctor 's medicine . When he came in he could ` ardly crawl , and at nine o'clock ' e was out of the easy-chair and dancing on the table as well as possible . He smashed three mugs and upset about two pints o ' beer , but he just put his ` and in his pocket and paid for 'em without a word . `` There 's plenty more where that came from , '' he ses , pulling out a handful o ' money . Peter Gubbins looked at it , ` ardly able to speak .
