No, thank you," she amended her answer.
"And where should I belong, if not standing by a chum in distress?" "I'm not in distress, if you please." "Don't mind washing dishes while the guest sits by the fire?" "Not a bit more than usual," Georgiana amended honestly. "Why don't you pile 'em up and let 'em wait till morning?" "I shouldn't sleep for thinking of them." "My word, but you're a hustler!
