"It doesn't follow that I shall make money at the law," said Mrs. Tarbell impatiently, but with a sense of her own justice. Mrs. Stiles was staggered. "Not make any money?" she faltered. "My good woman," said Mrs. Tarbell, "let me tell you that I have not yet had a single client, that I have not yet made a single dollar!" And, really, this was rather magnanimous. "The fact is, Mrs.
The next oldest to Celandine is on'y ten; and if I was to starve I wouldn't have him to sell papers or black boots, and his father a foreman; and the' ain't no call for office-boys nowadays, 'r else it's because Augustus is so small for his age " "We have an office-boy," murmured Mrs. Tarbell. "I know, ma'am," said Mrs. Stiles. "Leastways, I guessed as much.

Wotever Cap'n Tarbell could ha' seen in 'er, I can't think. "She was quiet, and stupid, and bad-tempered. When the bus-conductor came round for the fares she 'adn't got any change; and when we got to the hall she did such eggsterrordinary things trying to find 'er pocket that I tried to look as if she didn't belong to me.
