told her that she had but a cheap rental
to pay 1t was advisable 10 avoid trou-
Bile whenever possible. She must go
back TO the FIRST house. stay full month
and then she could go. In the mean
time she would have time to examine
many houses and possibly she could find
a better one still than the one she now
wished to move into. She bowed deep
~ and departed. If Mr.. Chillingworth
said so II must be all right.
a very red-faced lady OF about thirty
FIVE summers brushed up TO the rail
Without the formality OF greeting she
commenced:
