Old as they were, her aunts also did their share. Julia, though she was quite grey, was still the leading soprano in Adam and Eve's, and Kate, being too feeble to go about much, gave music lessons to beginners on the old square piano in the back room. Lily, the caretaker's daughter, did housemaid's work for them.

He stopped for a moment, looked at the caretaker, looked back to us with a smile. "The mystery is solved. Your Mrs Ragg and mine are not the same person," he said. Julia, who had been round to the back of the house to make inspection, came running to me with the news that the blind was up in the caretaker's bedroom, and the window open. "There is a ladder against the outhouse," she said.
Owen had obviously undressed preparatory to going to bed, and the magistrate very naturally soon made the remark how untenable the theory of an accident must be.

Peters has agreed to cook for us. He can no doubt be persuaded to attend to our other wants. For his services we shall pay him generously, in view of the circumstances.

If it wasn't for that, I could stop scraping and pinching.
"I can let that to you for fifty shillings a week," answered the clerk. "That includes everything there's plate, linen, glass, china, anything you want.

Triffitt followed the clerk to the top of the house.
"Who is that tall girl with the bronzy gold hair? And isn't she a fine reader?" exclaimed Zaidee. They were in a little group of old friends. Louie Howe laughed. Phillipa made a funny face.
