“Very well, I accept your resignation. Do you wish to wait till the end of the week, or to leave tonight?”
“I want to give it up tonight.”
“Very well, go to Rodney and he will pay you what is due you.”
“Are you goin’ to get along without a cook?” inquired Gordon in surprise.
“No.”
“What are you going to do, then?”
“I shall employ Parker in your place.”
“What does he know about cookin’?”
“He ran a restaurant in New York for five years, the first part of the time having charge of the cooking. We shan’t suffer even if you do leave us.”
“I think I will stay,” said Gordon in a submissive tone.
