"I don't think we had better go at all, Aunt Jane," said Ben.
"You can't find anything to do."
"Not yet, but I expect to some time."
"And what are we going to do till then?"
"I mean to fall back upon you, Aunt Jane. I think you will be able to keep us from starving."
"I don't know what you mean, Benjamin. I am sure I am willing to work; but last week I only earned a dollar and a quarter, and I don't feel sure of even doing that."
"I have got a plan for you, Aunt Jane."
"What is it?"
"You might take a boarder."
"Who would come to board with me?"
