"The idea!" exclaimed Mrs. Fenelby. "I have not even hired you, yet!" "No, ma'am," said Bridget, "but th' young lady has. She hired me with her own mouth, at me own sister Maggie's, who will be witness t' it, an' I have been workin' in th' kitchen already. I've washed th' spoons." "The young lady," said Mrs. Fenelby coldly, "has no right to hire servants for me."
That ought to make it come out about two hundred and fifty dollars a year, and if it does not we can have a meeting of congress any time and raise the duty." "That would be very nice," said Mrs. Fenelby. So it was decided that the tariff duty on necessities was to be ten per cent., and that on luxuries it should be thirty per cent., and Mr.
"What is it?" he whispered. "That collar," whispered Mr. Fenelby. "I thought about it all night, and I didn't think it right that you should be made to do without it. I just went down, to get it, but it isn't there." "Never mind," whispered Billy. "Don't worry, old man. I will wear the one I have." Mr. Fenelby hesitated.
"I wish you wouldn't mention that," said Mr. Fenelby with some annoyance. "Oh, I know all about that," said Billy, warmly. "You say that because you don't like to be thanked for all these nice, thoughtful things you do for a fellow. But I do thank you just as much as if you had found the collar and had brought it up to me. That was all right.
"Yes, dear," said Mrs. Fenelby, "I was, and you should not blame the poor man. I am sure he tried hard enough to carry them up. He actually insisted on carrying them up whether we wanted them up or not. He was quite rude about it. He said you had told him to carry them up and that he meant to do it whether we let him or not, and and at last I had to give him a dollar to leave them down here."
Fenelby felt at ease, but she did not think it necessary to tell her husband about the extra two dollars a month. It came out of her housekeeping money, and she could economize a little on something else. "Laura," said her husband that evening, "have you spoken to Bridget about the tariff yet?"
The foundation of the home is order; order can only be maintained by living up to such rules as are made; the Fenelby Domestic Tariff is more than a rule, it is a law. If we let the laws of our home be trampled under foot by whoever chooses the whole thing totters, sways and falls. The home is wrecked and sorrow and dissention come. Dissention leads to misunderstanding and divorce.
Fenelby, "she would leave, and I know we could never get another girl as good as Bridget." "Now you get some idea of the hard work our forefathers had when they made the United States," said Mr. Fenelby, rising and walking up and down the room. "But of course they had no case like Bridget. Bridget is more like a more like the Philippines.
You and I would not form a quorum. We must have Kitty and Billy." "Tom," she said, "I will get Kitty and Billy if I have to drag them in by main force!" and she went to find them. Ten minutes later she returned but without them. Mr. Fenelby had finished the dishes, and was hanging the dish-pan on its nail.
I open the case I take out the collar I place it gently on the porch railing and I take the empty suit-case into the house. I pay no duty at all, and that is what you get for being so grasping." Mr. Fenelby shook his head. "You can't do that, Billy," he said. "That puts the suit-case in another class.
