"I don't expect to see him again."
"Then why do you mind tellin' me where he lives?"
"I don't want to annoy him."
Mrs. Marlow turned her attention to his mother.
"Would you mind givin' me a small bit of meat for my supper, you've got so much?" she said.
Her request was complied with, and she at length left the room.
"What a disagreeable woman!" exclaimed Rupert. "She was prying about all the time she was here."
"Yes. I don't enjoy her company much, but I can't order her out of the room."
They had a nice supper, which Mrs. Rollins and Grace enjoyed. Rupert sat down at the table, but confined himself to a cup of tea, having already supped at Mr. Sylvester's.
The next day he resumed his hunt for a place, knowing well that his good luck of the day previous would not take the place of regular employment. But in dull times searching for a place is discouraging work.
