Jerrolds told him that Captain Carroll told him he expected to keep an automobile, and was afraid the Ranger stable wouldn't be large enough," said Mrs. Van Dorn. "So I heard," said Mrs. Lee. "I hear he pays a very large rent to Mr. Ranger the largest rent he has ever got for that house," said Mrs. Morris. "Well, I hear he pays fifty dollars a month."
He was evidently a servant, and his master beckoned him. "Call Mrs. Jerrolds, Williams," he said. "What is your name?" he asked Maria, who was sobbing more wildly than ever.
