"I told him we had never kept roomers or boarders, but he said he liked the place for me to speak to you, and he would call again." "Huh! he must like the place. Well, I guess we can get along some way," said Cowels, and then he sat and looked into the fire for a while without saying anything. When Mrs.
"I'm not quite sure, but I think it's a wholly imaginary creature much taken by the charms of haberdashery clerks." "I see. I don't think of any place now. Unless " She hesitated doubtfully. "Unless what?" "My aunt has a third-story room that is empty. It's a very nice room, though it isn't furnished now. There are only two other roomers, who are very quiet and never bother any one.
"That was before I came on the beat. He got to plunging on the races, betting against his own games, and the poker crowd here cleaned him up at last. So there's the Hibernia Social Club, the Democratic Ward Committee, and a lot of roomers in there. It's a new deal now, all around. "The whole house has been ripped up and there's a China wash-house in the basement of that old mansion."
"I ain't smoking any more," Lily said once; "well, 'tain't only to save money; but I don't want Jacky to be getting any funny ideas!" Lily said, apologetically; and she had three roomers, and she had scraped the locality for mealers. She would have made more money if she had not fed her boarders so well.

At night she brought home papers with handwriting on them and made copies with her typewriter. Sometimes she had no work at night, and then she would sit on the steps of the high stoop with the other roomers. Miss Leeson was not intended for a sky-light room when the plans were drawn for her creation. She was gay-hearted and full of tender, whimsical fancies. Once she let Mr.
She settled herself more comfortably on the doorstep and drew along breath. "How tired I am! Oh I haven't told you. We've taken a roomer!" "A what?" "A roomer." She was half apologetic. The Street did not approve of roomers. "It will help with the rent. It's my doing, really. Mother is scandalized." "A woman?" "A man." "What sort of man?" "How do I know? He is coming tonight.
