“But, I say: am I going to stop here, sir?”
“Yes; always.”
“What, in this room?”
“Yes.”
“And ain’t I to go back to the House to have my crumbs!”
“To have your what?”
“Breakfasses and dinners, sir?”
“No, you will have your meals here.”
“But I shall have to go back to sleep along with the other boys?”
“No, you will sleep here; you will live here altogether now.”
