“Leave it in the hands of Tom Flynn. He will sell the furniture and let the house. There are enough who will want it.”
“That is not even the principal trouble. The bank will not let me off without my giving some notice, so that the officers can get another person in my place.”
“It would be mean in them to keep you when you have a good chance to better your condition.”
