The king exchanged a look of intelligence with Phanes, and asked: "Why did not you keep the girl longer with you?" "When she had received the ear-rings I, as priest, thought it more suitable to send such a young girl away from my house, and to put her in a position to earn her own living." "Has she seen your brother since she has been grown up?" "Yes, my King.
She has got her bread to earn, and if she won't do it one way then she must do it another. She's obstinate and pigheaded, that's the truth of it. And her father's just as bad. He has taken her out now merely because she likes to be idle, and to go about thinking herself a fine lady. Lady Ushant doesn't do her any good at all by cockering her up."
It was some time before she saw her way clear to do this, but at last she took counsel of a school-fellow whose sister worked in the folding-room of the Squantown Paper Mills and found that even a young girl might earn considerable in this way.

He went every day to fish betimes in the morning, and imposed it as a law upon himself not to cast his nets above four times a day. He went one morning by moonlight, and coming to the seaside, undressed himself, and cast in his nets.
Yes, go, my Leonora; take the situation offered you, and give the money you earn to the fatherland and its soldiers." "Oh, thanks, mother!" exclaimed Leonora, hastening to her and clasping her in her arms "thanks, for permitting me to put my mite on the altar of the country!" She kissed her mother with fervent tenderness, and then turned toward her father.
"I did not quite understand your letter. You are not going to Devonshire?" "Oh no; I am going on with my work here," Rhoda said hastily. And after a pause she added, impelled by the yearning kindness in Miss Merivale's eyes, "Mr. Price wishes me to stay here. It is not as if I was his own niece, you see. And I am nearly twenty; I am quite able to earn my own living."
"Seems to me this is a pretty easy way to earn thirty cents an hour." "I I was just going to see if there wasn't something I could do," the man answered, a good deal embarrassed.
