"Couldn't have had time to pack a trunk, could she?"
We have saved a little, and we had counted to buy the rest in five or six years if we were very careful." "I see, I see," said the Plunger, with a little short laugh of relief; "I understand." He was greatly comforted to think that it was not so bad as it had threatened.
