“I suppose you live there as servant?”
“No, sir, I live there as master.”
“Is the good woman I saw there your wife?”
“In truth, sir, she is.”
“And the young girl I saw your daughter?”
“Yes, sir, she is my daughter.”
“And how came the good woman not to tell me you were her husband?”
“I suppose, sir, you did not ask who I was, and she thought you did not care to know.”
“But can you be spared from home?”
“O yes, sir, I was not wanted at home.”
