"Humph! he'll soon sail away again and leave you with your step-mother, just as I told you." "Well, I don't care, she looks enough kinder and sweeter than you do." "Indeed! I pity her, poor young thing!" sighed Mrs. Scrimp, scanning the photograph with keen curiosity. "She's very young a mere child I should say and to think of the trouble she'll have with you and Max!"
Faix it's mysilf is plazed to git ashore anyhow, for there's nothin' gone into my intarior since brickfust this mornin'."
