Oh, yes, the boardinghouse--it's really a very nice place of its kind, as you'll admit tomorrow morning when a good night's sleep has turned your blues rosy pink.

It's a big, old-fashioned, gray stone house on St.John Street, just a nice little constitutional from Redmond.

It used to be the 'residence' of great folk, but fashion has deserted St.John Street and its houses only dream now of better days.

They're so big that people living in them have to take boarders just to fill up.

At least, that is the reason our landladies are very anxious to impress on us.
