"It is unavoidable."
Mary stamped her foot.
"Well, it isn't, and I think you're the stupidest old man I ever knew!" she said flatteringly, as she sped to the closet. "Here! Give me a hand with it!"
"With what?"
"The wardrobe trunk, of course. I've been looking at it and trying to get it open, but I cannot do it in there. I'm going out in that trunk!"
"Eh?" said Anthony, tugging at it quite stupidly.
"Open it!" Mary commanded.
Anthony opened it.
"Yes, there's room and to spare, if you'll take out those drawers and things!" the girl said quickly. "No! Pile them in the closet neatly; she'll look in there! Now, about your man; is he strong?"
"Very, I believe."
