“I don’t think we shall care to occupy your rooms long, Mr. Grubb.”
“I hope you haven’t taken offense, widder. I shall be glad to have you stay.”
“We have become rich, Mr. Grubb, and shall want to live in more commodious rooms.”
“I have a better tenement near the Park, ma’am.”
“We may look at it, but our plans are not made yet.”
Mr. Grubb left the house with a greatly increased respect for his tenants.
