Mrs. H. Good morning, Ruth; Mrs. Hall, I suppose, I should call you, only that I can’t get used to being shoved aside so suddenly.
Ruth. Oh, pray don’t say Mrs. Hall to me. Call me any name that best pleases you; I shall be quite satisfied.
Mrs. H. I suppose you understand all about housekeeping, Ruth?
Ruth. No. I have but just returned from boarding-school.
