`` And we 'll mind it till it 's sold , '' ses Ginger . Sam laughed agin , short and nasty . Then he undressed ` imself very slow and got into bed . At twelve o'clock , just as Ginger was dropping off , he began to laugh agin , and ' e only stopped when ' e heard Ginger getting out of bed to ` im . He stayed in bed next morning , ` cos he said ` is sides was aching , but ' e laughed agin as they was going out , and when they came back he ` ad gorn . We never know ` ow much we ' like anything till we lose it . A week arterwards , as Ginger was being ` elped out of a pawnshop by Peter , he said ' e would give all he ` ad n't got for the locket to be near enough to Sam to hear ` im laugh agin .
