The stones thumped off.
‘Pimple-maker, visage-bloater,
Health-corrupter, idler’s mate;
Mischief-breeder, vice-promoter,
Credit-spoiler, devil’s bait!’
Damper Latham swept the cart with his broom, and danced and marched to Joseph’s music. Grandfather had his chisels out and was hitting the notes on them with his hammer, like a xylophone.
‘Utterance-boggler, stench-emitter,
Strong-man sprawler, fatal drop;
Tumult-raiser, venom-spitter,
Wrap-inspirer, coward’s prop!’
Joseph had stopped playing. His neck hurt for thought of the Allmans. He couldn’t swallow. But Grandfather and Damper Latham went on, singing louder and louder, tenor and bass, by turns.
Joseph shut his eyes.
‘Virtue-blaster, base deceiver!
Spite-displayer, sot’s delight!
Noise-exciter, stomach-heaver!
Falsehood-spreader! Scorpion’s bite!’
Grandfather and Damper Latham were laughing too much to work.
Joseph opened his eyes. He was looking straight into Grandfather’s, and they were hard, fierce, kind and blue.
‘That’s it, youth,’ said Grandfather. ‘Strike or laugh. You’ll learn.’
