Mr. Winston sighed as he closed the letter.
"Oh dear oh dear" he cried, "here I have to leave my happy home, just when Gladys and James have arrived, Marshland" he added.
"Yes sir" said the servant coming forward.
"I shall have to leave home early tomorrow" said Mr. Winston "how will you get on with out me?"
"Oh sir, I think we shall get on all right" responded Marshland "I'll keep an eye on the young ladies and Mr. Palsey will cheer them up I know."
"I dont know that" said Mr. Winston "he seems a very dull gentleman."
"Do he really sir" said Marshland "well I'm sure I'm very sad."
"But do you think you can mannage without me? I shall not be away more than three days" asked Mr. Winston.
