She was needin' it worse than me." "Is this the truth?" asked Miss Margery. "It's the gospel truth, ma'am," declared Mrs. Callahan. "You ask Mrs. Mooney, ma'am." As the two women promised faithfully to repay it on Monday, Miss Margery lent the lacking rent-money and then rose to go. Meanwhile, Anne and Honey-Sweet were the centre of an admiring group.
"This is a very important matter," asserted Mr. Merrick. "Very. If I'm evicted for lack of rent-money my career is crippled." "I mean the case is a serious one." "Are you willing to pay for success?" "Liberally." "Then I'll win it for you. Don't judge my ability by my present condition, sir. Tell me your story and I'll get to work at once." Uncle John rose with sudden decision.
Leigh was an instructor, and had been selected for this important distinction by the doctor, told her from time to time of affairs on the East Side. Over there the season had opened quite as usual; indeed, it was always open; work must go on every day, because every day food must be obtained and rent-money earned, and the change from summer to winter was only a climatic increase of hardships.
A fortunate chance brought some relief to his perplexities. Ambrose Lisle's furniture was advertised to be sold by auction, and Caleb resolved to purchase the bureau chest of drawers at almost any price, although to do so would oblige him to break into his rent-money, then nearly due. The day of sale came, and, the important lot in its turn was put up.
There your tenement didn't stay vacant two weeks after the Fields went; the Simmonses came right in. I guess if I had rent-money, an' nobody but myself, I could afford to travel once in a while."

What's more, naybours, I don't mind admittin' to you that after the man had paid an' left, I slipped to the door an' keeked out after him an' that story of his about it bein' his rent-money was all a flam.
Besides she visited in the next street at the large white house with green blinds, where they kept a hired girl, and to be sure she didn't care for the people that took one or two rooms of her, and lived in a small way, save for the money they paid her; she was pretty sure to make them all a call once a quarter at least, and woe betide them if the rent-money was not forthcoming!
"I been lookin' for you to bring me that rent-money. I told the agent's young man he should have it early this afternoon." "I did not promise to let you have any money, Mrs. Callahan." Miss Margery's tone was crisp and firm. "On Monday you had all your rent-money except one dollar. You said you expected to get that this week for sewing." "I ain't got no sewin' money," said Mrs. Callahan.
Denver Jones took his place at fifty dollars a week, payable every Saturday night and rounded on the padre by getting back his rent-money over the table every Sunday afternoon. He'd a-got it back Sunday mornings if the padre hadn't been tied up mornings to his work. It seemed really to jolt 'em when they begun to find out what a live man with his back up could do with a gun!
