Little Miss Bunting flushed delightedly, and from that moment onward became one of the new boarder's most devoted adherents. "You'd like some tea, I expect," she said presently. "Will you have it up here or in the dining-room with the other boarders in half an hour's time?" "Oh, up here, please. I can't possibly wait half an hour."
Files had depended on his boarder's invariable punctuality and had been obliged to keep "hotting up" the food, watching the clock with increasing despair. Britt smiled on the landlord when they faced each other in the dining room. The smile made the landlord shiver. He was dreading the explosion. He set on the viands as timidly as a child holding out peanuts to an elephant. Mr.

Flammy and Gus, pickle and sandwich is all that's left fer you. The rest of this chicken is agoin' into the Boarder's dinner pail to-morrer." Milton came home from the grocery one night with a telephone message from Mr. Vedder requesting Amarilly to bring the surplice to his rooms on the next day.
"If I could get a position to teach in some school or some family, I could, maybe, live here with you rent this room unless you have some other use for it." "Lord, no!

"Now why didn't I ask him to take me and the snake on home in the cart with him?" exclaimed Mary, as she lifted the rattler into the surrey by means of the lasso, and took the reins from the new boarder's uneasy hands.
He did not behave at all like an ogre, for he was very glad to see us, and so was his wife.

And that makes me think, we want you to ask Mr. St. John if he will wear our surplice instead of bringing one of his. We'll do it up nice before the wedding." "Oh, that prophetic surplice!" groaned Colette.
