"Miss Elisabet', we want your help," said Mr. Herder. "He is working too hard."
"I am not supposed to know what that means, sir."
"What?" said Mr. Haye.
"Working too hard."
"Work!" said Mr. Haye. "What do you know about work?"
"The personal experience of a life-time, sir," said Winthrop gravely. "Not much of the theory, but a good deal of the practice."
"I'll bear her witness of one thing," said Mr. Haye; "if she can't work herself, she can make work for other people."
"You've got it, Lizzie," said her cousin, clapping her hands.
"I don't take it," said Elizabeth. "For whom do I make work, father?"
"For me, or whoever has the care of you."
