It's uncommonly good of you, and all the rest of it, but every man even you, Torp must consider his work.

To-day I inspected my linen cupboard with all the care of the lady superior of an aristocratic convent. I delighted in the spectacle of the snowy-white piles, and counted it all. I am careful with my money, and yet I like to have great supplies in the house.
