“Well, I suppose—” Mrs. Hazard turned to Jim for assistance—“I suppose for two it would be ten dollars a week.”
“Eleven,” said Jim firmly. “But we don’t charge for board, of course, when you are away. Then you just pay three dollars for the room.”
“That seems reasonable,” declared Poke.
“Quite,” agreed Gil.
“I dare say if we wanted a fire any time we could have it by paying something extra?” Poke asked.
“Just pay for what you burn,” said Jim.
“I see.” Gil turned to Poke. “What do you think?”
“Why, we—we might think it over a little,” gasped Poke.
