[The Garies and Their Friends by Frank J. Webb]@TWC D-Link bookThe Garies and Their Friends CHAPTER XXVIII 3/16
Cad and I are going to add our savings to mother's; that, combined with what we shall receive for father's tools, good-will, &c, will be sufficient to furnish another house; and as soon as we can succeed in that, we will leave Mr.Walters, as it is embarrassing to remain under present circumstances." "And what is to become of little Em ?--she surely won't remain alone with him ?" "Mr.Walters has proposed that when we procure a house she shall come and board with us.
He wants us to take one of his houses, and offers some fabulous sum for the child's board, which it would be unreasonable in us to take.
Dear, good man, he is always complaining that we are too proud, and won't let him assist us when he might.
If we find a suitable house I shall be delighted to have her.
I love the child for her mother's sake and her own." "I wonder if they will ever send her away, as they did Clarence ?" asked Charlie. "I do not know," she rejoined.
