"I shore hope you ain’t figgerin’ on goin’ into no house, ’cause there ain’t no house to go into." She laughed merrily, as if the idea of such an effete luxury as a house were amusing. "This yere family ’ain’t ever had a houseit camps." Mary gasped. The real meaning of words no longer had the power of making an impression on her. If Mrs.

Amarilly's pace in learning English from Derry during the following winter was only excelled by her proficiency in mathematics. "Figgerin'" the Boarder declared to be his long suit, and his young pupil worked every example in Flamingus's arithmetic, and employed her leisure moments in solving imaginary problems.
