I told them to put the clothes-lines up when they had done with them. I knew there would be an accident." "Perhaps they were put up high enough for ordinary purposes," remarked her nephew. "Let me do something for you, dear." "No, thank you, aunt Gus. It is nothing," he said carelessly, and the matter dropped. Harold Beecham. was not a man to invite inquiry concerning himself.
They had to set it down many times on their way back. Next Grandma made a twig broom and they swept the dirty ground. Mrs. Rugieri, next door, showed Grandma her beds, made of automobile seats put together on the ground.

One of Gertie's letters ran: That Mr Beecham you used to tell me so much about has come back to live at Five-Bob. He has brought his aunts back. Every one went to welcome them, and there was a great fuss. I believe he is richer than ever. Every one is laughing about his luck.
Beecham was himself the son of respectable people in a good way of business, and not destitute of means; and the position was one which they had always felt most suitable for their daughter, and to which she had been almost, it may be said, brought up.

I took them so very easily that the fire was on the last gasp and the shoe nearly cold when it was required. "This won't do," said Beecham. I recommenced blowing with such force that he had to retreat. "Steady I steady!" he shouted.
Beecham took in everything, and the praises she bestowed on the ball, did not relax her coldness. They were too well off, too warm and silken to call forth her sympathies, and there was little in common between them to afford any ground for meeting.
