'I am not ashamed of my position at all; for I am John's widow in the eyes of Heaven. 'I quite agree that's why I've come. Still, you won't like to be always straining at this shop-keeping and market-standing; and 'twould be better for Johnny if you had nothing to do but tend him. He here touched the only weak spot in Selina's resistance to his proposal the good of the boy.

"Whatever you may say, it is not right to be double-faced," I retorted. My sister-in-law laughed out in my face. "Oh, our artless little Chota Rani! straight as a schoolmaster's rod, eh? But a woman is not built that way.
When she was left alone with no money, with a little girl, and received a home with her uncle, the common little creature gave herself airs, and was more than a little inclined to think that she was doing her shop-keeping relation a great favor by serving in his shop: she reigned there with the airs of a fallen queen, though, fortunately for her uncle's business and his customers, her arrogance was tempered by her natural exuberance and her need of talking.

This view of the case has a very important bearing, also, upon the condition of the shop-keeping class as well as the classes of mill-owners and manufacturers who have not a large amount of floating capital. There is no doubt but a very large amount of the shopkeeping class are rapidly falling into the condition of the unemployed labourers.
