"Immediately! to-morrow; they are not willing to wait till we can get somebody. Think of it!"
"Well, let them go," said Fleda; "the sooner the better."
"Yes: and I am sure I don't want to keep them; but" and Mrs. Rossitur wrung her hands "I haven't money enough to pay them quite and they wont go without it."
Fleda felt shocked; so much that she could not help looking it.

Mrs. Rossitur shook her head. "I have asked him."
