“How much do you charge for this room, Mrs. Canfield?”

“I shall have to charge you six dollars if you occupy it alone, but if you can get another young gentleman to occupy it with you I will say ten dollars for the two.”

“I will take it alone at first. Can I move in tomorrow morning?”

“I will have it ready for you by eleven o'clock.”

“That will do.”

“How do you like it?” asked Ashton, when they were in the street.

“I think I can make it do.”

“I suppose you have been used to something better?”

“Yes.”

“I can direct you to a better house.”
