Maddie persuading Joe to consent to the exchange of duties. 'But what will his employer say?

He'll never know nothing, and he'll be able to swear up for Jim if the police pull him anywhere this side of the Murray.
Maddie sat upon the top of a half-barrel, swinging her brown, soiled feet, and playing with a black puppy, that was snapping at her toes; while the table was strewn with crumbs and dirty dishes from the morning's meal, and chips and sticks and bits of rags were upon the floor. She looked as if she had just got out of bed.
If you can take care of Maddie, the girl will do the cooking and I will I will do my duty." And night and day he did do his duty, being alone with his wife except for the few moments of the doctor's calls.
"Now, Maddie," said she, as they finished the repast, "you clear the table and wash the dishes, and Lolly and I'll go to my mirror to make ourselves nice to sit down, and then I'll tell you the story my teacher told me the other day, if you would like to hear it."
