"I didn't take table-board nor a room the first year nor much the second. I've allowed $1.00 a week for that, and $2.00 for the third that takes out two, you see. Then it's $156 a year till I was fourteen and earned board and wages, two more years at $156 and I've paid since I was seventeen, you know." "Well I guess you did I guess you did." He grinned genially.
And there is Marion with that perfectly splendid old Martha of hers, who could cook for all of them." "Oh, I see," says I. "Marion hangs out a table-board sign?" "Stupid!" says Vee. "She does nothing of the sort. People don't want to go out for their meals; they want to eat at home. Well, Marion brings them their meals, all deliciously cooked, all hot, and ready to serve."
You deserve that I should let you eat your fists by way of table-board; but I'm no such dirt as you. When our men left the schooner they brought off with them a good share of our provisions. I'll leave them here for you and there's plenty of turtle and abalone to be had for the catching.

How could he know that Marion was keeping nearly all the block supplied with funds? So McCloud continued to raise the price of his table-board, and, though Marion insisted he was paying her too much, held that he must be eating her out of house and home. In her dining-room, which connected through a curtained door with the shop, McCloud sat one day alone eating his dinner.
The cost of keeping this in the trim fashion decreed as essential, of planting and pruning of shrubs, of maintaining in immaculate condition the sidewalks and front steps, like most of the items in cost of living, is due to changed standards, just as the cost of table-board has advanced from $3 to $6 without a corresponding betterment in quality.
The nails were crooked and jammed in the wall, and the last came out with an unexpected jerk. Losing his balance, Nick caught at the table-board which leaned against the wall; but the stool capsized, and he came down on the floor with such a flap of tapestry that the ashes flew out all over the room. He sat up dazed, and rubbed his elbows, then looked around and began to laugh.
