My mother came here a month ago." "Why didn't you come with her ?" "I was workin' with a farmer, but the work gave out and I came home.
Maybe I'll find work here." "I think I know where your mother lives," said John, who had heard the conversation.

"She lives up the road a mile or so, in a little house with two rooms.

It's where old Jake Barlow used to live." "Thank you, sir.

I guess I'll be goin', then, as my mother'll be expectin' me.

Do you know if she's well ?" and a look of anxiety came over the boy's honest, good-natured face.
The question was addressed to John, but of this Godfrey was not quite sure.
