the cottage was in a general state of
chaos -
The young husband and wife honestly
tried to make the best of a bad situa-
tion, not only for their boarders, but
In trying to help themselves. The board
ers certainly must have had the patience
of Job and the digestion of an ostrich
though they never complained and were
always delightful company. Mr.. Russell

dressed man in the late thirtes, and Mrs

once nervously suggested to Mrs Keel
that they were not receiving their
moneys worth. but she gently but with
dignity said everything was as they
expected.
