I found out that Nat Burns had taken the feller to Mis' Shannon's boardin'-house, an', knowin' that Jimmie was livin' there, I got an idee. Jimmie's told about that already. The feller bit, an' that was the end of him. "But that wasn't the wust of it.
I'm figgerin' to run it as a boardin'-house. It'll cost money to put it in shape and a mortgage is the simplest way of raisin' that money, I suppose. That's the long and short of it." The dealer in mortgages appeared to hear and there was no reason why he should not have understood. But he seemed still unsatisfied, even suspicious.
How'd it be to move down to Schaefer's boardin'-house for the winter, where it'll be a little recreation for you evenings, or say we take a trip down to Cincinnati for a week. "Oh no," she said, looking away from him and her throat throbbing. "Oh no, you don't! Them things might have meant something to me once, but you've come too late with 'em. For eight years I been eatin' out my heart with 'em.
Captain Obed left soon afterward. "Well, John," he said to his friend, as they stood together on the front step, "what do you think of this for a boardin'-house? All I prophesied, ain't it?" Kendrick nodded. "All that, and more," he answered, emphatically. "Like Mrs. Barnes, don't you?" "Very much. No one could help liking her." "Um-hm. Well, I told you that, too.
At sixty cents a week the meals for one day will not cost over ten cents. I'll pay you ten cents for supper and breakfast." "You're a cur'us boy," said Tucker. "You want to pay for your vittles in a free boardin'-house." "It isn't free to me. At any rate, I don't want it to be. What do you say?" "Oh, I ain't no objections to take your money," said Tucker, laughing. "I didn't know you was so rich."
And it seems yes, it seems to me as if here was the chance; nothin' but a chance, and a risky one, but a chance just the same. Emily, I'm thinkin' of fixin' up Uncle Abner's old rattletrap and openin' a boardin'-house for summer folks in it. "Yes, yes; I know," she continued, noticing the expression on her companion's face.
"No, no I guess you didn't. But I hope you will. If you don't I I Solomon Cobb, that boardin'-house means everything to me. I've put all I've got in it. It has got the best kind of a start and in another year I I Please, Oh PLEASE don't close me out." "Humph!" "Please don't. You told me when I was here before what a lot you thought of my Uncle Abner. You knew how much he thought of me.
And, anyhow, he does take mortgages; that's the heft of his business I got that from the cap'n without tellin' him what I wanted to know for." Miss Howes smiled. "You and Captain Bangs have been putting your heads together, I see," she said. "Um hm. And his head ain't all mush and seeds like a pumpkin, if I'm any judge. The cap'n tells me that east Wellmouth needs a good summer boardin'-house.
You've done enough and more than enough. But with me it's different. I could do it." "You?" "Yes. I've got some money of my own. I could find a nice, cheap, quiet boardin'-house in the country round here somewhere and she and I could go there and stay until she got well. You needn't go at all; you could go off travelin' by yourself and " "Hephzy, what are you talking about?" "I mean it.
My old mother she kep' a boardin'-house for sailors down there. Wal, ye see, I rolled and tumbled round the world pretty consid'able afore I got settled down here in Oldtown. "Ye see, my mother she wanted to bind me out to a blacksmith, but I kind o' sort o' didn't seem to take to it. It was kind o' hard work, and boys is apt to want to take life easy.
