You can stay at Mrs. Zinc's anyway till you look around Mrs. Zinc don't want a boarder. Girls can fit in any place that's one reason in our neighborhood we like a girl better there's no trouble about boardin' them. They can always manage somehow. Even if things ain't very good it don't seem to phaze them same as a man.
There was Ad'line and Susan Ellen fussin' an' bickerin' yesterday about who'd got to have me next; and, Lord be thanked, they both wanted me right off but I hated to hear 'em talkin' of it over. I'd rather live to home, and do for myself." "I've got consider'ble used to boardin'," said Jefferson, "sence ma'am died, but it made me ache 'long at the fust on 't, I tell ye.
He had made some inquiries as to where she intended staying, even added a half-hearted invitation to dinner that evening at his home. But she declined. "No, thank you, Abner," she said, "I'm goin' to find a boardin' place and I'd just as soon nobody knew where I was stayin', for the present. And there's one thing I want to ask you: don't tell a soul I am here. Not a soul.
"No, no, no," he growled, "'tain't any such thing. Your boardin' there's a good thing for Martha. She needs the money." Galusha was troubled. "I'm sorry to hear that," he said. "She is not ah not pinched for means, I hope. Not that that is my business, of course," he added, hastily. Captain Jeth's reply was gruff and rather testy.
And I reckon I'll take the evening train home. Shoulda gone yesterday, by rights. I'd like to get a basket uh fish to take up with me. Great coffee, Mrs. Hart, and such cream I never did see. I sure do hate to leave so many good things and go back to a boardin' house. Look at this honey, now!" He sighed gluttonously, leaning slightly over the table while he fed.
"Cap'n Hedge," she said, "as I'm here on what you might call a bus'ness errand, and as I've been waitin' pretty nigh two hours already, p'raps we'd better talk about somethin' besides fine evenin's. I've got to be lookin' up a hotel or boardin' house or somewheres to stay to-night, and I can't wait much longer. I jedge you got my letter and was expectin' me.

"Pa's goin' t' cook, an' Mark's goin' t' run the business," added Davy. "Well, they'll have good cooking." Janet smiled as she thought of the scheme. "Maybe they'll let me wait upon table."
Sugg about the young man, and he answered her with the assurance that they had been inmates of the same prison, and that Martin was losing flesh rapidly from melancholy. "It's the doings of that devil, Dyke Darrel," cried Mrs. Scarlet, losing her temper at thought of her troubles. "I've kind o' thought, bein' as I was in Shecargy, I'd look up a boardin' place and stay a spell.
"An' I'm tellin' you that chap was the nicest one that lived at Missis Brayton's boardin' house," put in Liz, reflectively. "What chap?" cried Jess. "The ha'nt," said Liz, simply. "Oh, dear me, Lizzie!" said Laura, in some disgust. "Don't keep that up." "Well, then! If it wasn't his ha'nt, it was himself. Guess I know him," declared the girl-of-all-work.
