Robert had given up his room IN
the bachelor ruoming house, and w"
had taken the second floor front IN
the house where ] had lived fuc
nearly "a year. ] had only a small
room ON the third floor. but as we
were hOtn working we thought we
might take the second floor room.
"lt seems rather ridiculous 10 pay
as much for one room as "A Ett

perhaps they get moro comfort
and that means a lot 20 great
many people" Robert returned, the
wistful note still in his voice, as his
eyes rovod about the room.
II was our first day at home. We
had sent our trunks 20 tho boarding
house. and each Of MS had gone tu
business. So we were tn spend the
evening unpacking, and gcuine
ready to live. as ] expressed ii.
"But, Robert, we shall be quite

began:

some emphasis, adding, They are
going to yet killed out there-some
