"Besides, any one that could pay a fair price would expect better living than we could afford."
"I don't think you will find that trouble with the boarder I have engaged for you."

"What would you say to boarding and taking care of a little girl of five?"
"Do you know of any such little girl?"
"Yes."
"What would her friends be willing to pay?"
"Seven dollars a week."
This was about twice as much as Mrs. Bradford expected, and she looked incredulous.
