"Mrs. Burke?"
"Yes; he told me that his name was Andy Burke."
"He ought to know his place too well to be impudent to one in your position."
"So I think."
"I shall speak to Mrs. Burke about her son's bad behavior."
"I wish you'd discharge her. That's a good way to punish the boy."
"I shouldn't object to doing that, Godfrey, but Mrs. Burke is a capital hand at ironing shirts. Yours and your father's never looked so nice as they have since she has been here."
Godfrey looked a little discontented. Being essentially mean, he thought it would be an excellent plan to strike the son through the mother.
"You might threaten her, mother, a little. Tell her to make her boy behave himself, or you'll discharge her."
"I will certainly speak to her on the subject, Godfrey."
