There wasn't the first thing she could do for herself, and he couldn't afford to board her out, for Dan was only a laboring-man, mackerelling all summer and shoemaking all winter, less the dreadful times when he stayed out on the Georges; and then he couldn't afford, either, to keep her there and ruin the poor girl's reputation; and what did Dan do but come to me with it all?
"Ah, ah! you foundt the laboring-man reasonable dractable tocile?" Lindau put in. "Yes, generally speaking," Dryfoos answered. "They mostly knew which side of their bread was buttered.
