I'm try in' to do my best, and hit's 'is biziness to take care hof the rest. Hand 'E 'as so far. I've been a bit 'ungry meself now and then, but the children halways 'ad enough. So I vork and trust and lose no time and strength ha-vorrying. Things'll all come hout right some day; and I've no time to be doin' the Lord's vork bin carryin' the burden hon my shoulders, hif they are broad.

"Maybe you and she are wrecked on a desert island at this blissful moment." "I wish we were," he murmured, without looking around. "And you and Sylvia, too!" "Cut it," I growled.
