"Certainly," I replied, "let her have it, but I want you to see that it is returned." "As to that, ma'am, I'll do my best; but I can't get Nancy to return one half what she borrows. She forgets from one day to another." "She mustn't forget," I returned, warmly. "You must go to Mrs. Jordon yourself. It isn't right."
But the boatmen of Long Key, with the exception of Jordon, are all against light tackle. I must say that James Jordon is to be congratulated and recommended.
"It is a very comfortable house. I am certain we will not get another as desirable at the same rent." "I don't know that we will. But " Just as I said this, my cook opened the door of the room where we were sitting and said "Mrs. Jordon, ma'am, wants to borrow half a pound of butter. She says, they are entirely out, and their butter-man won't come before to-morrow."
Over and over again have I complained of your borrowing so much and returning so little; and you have doubtless made the same complaint of me." "I certainly have. I felt that I was not justly dealt by." "It makes me sick to think of it." And Mrs. Jordon sank into a chair. "Still I don't understand about the wash-boiler and tubs that you mentioned," she said, after a pause.
About an hour after she was gone, Nancy came into the kitchen, where I happened to be. "What's wanted now?" said I. My voice expressed quite as much as my words. I saw the color flush in Nancy's face. "Mrs. Jordon says, will you please to lend her a pan of flour? She will return it to-morrow." "Tell Mrs.
Jordon when, at her request, Bridget pointed out at least twenty of my domestic utensils that Nancy had borrowed to replace such as she had broken or carried away. "To think of it!" she repeated over and over again. "Just to think of it! Who could have dreamed of such doings?" Mrs. Jordon was, in fact, as guiltless of the sin of troublesome borrowing from a neighbor as myself.
You might have opened her eyes a little, or at least diminished the annoyance you had been, and still are enduring." "Yes, the opportunity was a good one, and I ought to have improved it. But I did not and the whole system, sanctioned or not sanctioned by Mrs. Jordon, is in force against me." "And will continue, unless some means be adopted by which to abate the nuisance." "Seriously, Mr.
Jordon is almost too much for me. I like to be accommodating; it gives me pleasure to oblige my neighbors; I am ready to give any reasonable obedience to the Scripture injunction from him that would borrow of thee, turn thou not away; but Mrs. Jordon goes beyond all reason." "Still, if she is punctual in returning what she gets, I don't know that you ought to let it annoy you a great deal."
"You have my large wash-boiler," I replied, "and two of my washing tubs. You borrow them every Monday, and I have almost always to send for them." "I have your wash-boiler and tubs? You are in error, Mrs. Smith. I have a large boiler of my own, and plenty of tubs." "I don't know what you have, Mrs. Jordon; but I do know that you get mine every week.
All about Ferd Stowing and Ted Jordon!" "For goodness' sake, stop bellowing and behave," Billie commanded. "What have you and Teddy been doing now?" "Plenty. But that's nothing to what we're going to do," crowed Ferd exultantly. "He and I have at last persuaded our reluctant parents to send us to the military school.
