charge of the nursing.

only, between trains.
Ogdens normal eye became as blank as the other.
Times have changed, but he doesnt realize it. All those years he hadthought it was
Mrs. Thats why I had to put it into other hands.
Then you do attendto his business for the
present?
A lamp was burningin the dining-room, and there Ivy
Peters stood at the sideboard,mixing cocktails. Better get him out, no matter what,
said Mrs. Under the care of him, now that he was helpless, Mrs.
She kept washing the place aroundthe ice-box over
and over, till it made me nervous. He had not made his fortuneyet, but he was on the
way to it.
During the dinner she did not once speak, except to
say,Thank you, or No, thank you. He had not made his fortuneyet, but he was on the
way to it. He went away with weary contempt for her inhis heart. And I will plant
some of his ownrose-bushes beside it. So we may feel sure that she was well cared
for, to the very end,said Niel. She didnt treat him with much consideration. When
she came, she took Niels arm and led him into the dining-room. Unless I keep the
place up, I can never get my price for it.
On Friday evening he was the last guest to arrive.
Forrester hadcalled to see his uncle in the meantime.
Niel felt that he musthelp her, or at least try to.
They didnt really like this kind offood at all. Perhaps she had lain down upstairs,
for she looked a little rested. Niel turned to an unfinished letter on hisdesk, in
order to leave his visitor the more free. Thank you, Niel, thank you, Tom, he often
said when they liftedhim into his chair.
I might speakto you about it, and you could consult
your uncle and write me inChicago.
I have beenthinking that we might manage it to get
a special increase ofpension for Mrs. It had been hard to give up that year;most of
his classmates were younger than he. Nothing she could ever dowould in the least
matter to him again. Forresters kitchen as familiarly as they did outof one
anothers.
