Thank heaven our affairs can be shut up in drawers and hung up in closets, and there we can leave them--in this case for a good supper first, and a long quiet rest on this piazza afterward.

Don't you think you could find a drawer somewhere in which to tuck away your Wall Street matters, Henry?
You won't need them till some time next week, for you must certainly spend two or three days with us." Mr.Muir laughed.

"I've heard of managing women before, but you beat them all.

You have won, to-day, the right to manage for a while.

I'll join you soon; then supper; and, as you suggest, I'll put the Wall Street matters somewhere and lock them up." Thus their mountain sojourn began auspiciously.
