There was that other man—a good lodger. What is a girl to do? Could I’ve gone on the streets? He seemed kind. He wanted me, anyhow. What was I to do with mother and that poor boy? Eh? I said yes. He seemed good-natured, he was freehanded, he had money, he never said anything. Seven years—seven years a good wife to him, the kind, the good, the generous, the—And he loved me. Oh yes.
He was going to dictate it, but in the end Mitchell wrote it all. Here it is." With that he put his hand into his pocket, drew out an envelope and handed it to her. "How awfully good of you," she said gratefully. "Do excuse my reading it at once, won’t you? You see, I’ve been so anxious about—about my brother."
Here is wha’ tha’ boy jumped,” he replied, pointing to some marks on the stone which were imperceptible to me, “an’ tha’s wha’ he landed,” he continued, pointing to a slight ledge upon the face of the opposite cliff at least twenty feet distant. “He’s a jumper, an’ no mistake—guess I might as well have my front tooth pulled, fur I’ve lost my bet,” soliloquized the trailer, as he sat on the edge of the cliff, with his legs hanging over the frightful chasm.

I’ve never been into lots of things here." Jack looked at Mitchell this time. "I’m sorry, Miss Watkins," he roared, "but I’ll have to go home, anyhow. You see, I’m not used to the lively life which has been enlivening us all this week and, being weakly in my knees, needs must look out." Aunt Mary looked very disappointed.
The idea of you is a part of my mind; you influence my likes and dislikes, all my tastes, hundreds of times when I don’t realize it.
