You came in to see me from Fairlawn ?" "No, sir, I didn't.

The fact is, I'm not out there any longer." "Not there! What do you mean ?" "I've been discharged, sir, with two other servants, since the funeral yesterday." "Discharged! Why I understood you had been employed there for years." "Several years, sir." "And now discharged! By whom?
Not Miss Natalie surely ?" "Yes, sir.

She didn't give no reason; just said we were not wanted any longer.

That's one reason why I came here to see you, sir." "But I hardly know how I can be of help.

I have no house of my own, and--well, the truth of the matter is, Sexton, just at present I am not on very good terms with the young lady myself." "I know that, sir," more confidently.
