We must do what we can to lighten the trouble for them. 'Yes, Edie replied, looking at him through her tears; 'I mean to try. At any rate, I won't be a burden to them myself any longer. I've written already up to an agency in London to see whether they can manage to get me a place as a nursery-governess. 'You a governess, Edie!
