I tried to sell papers, for the sake of the rent, and nobody wanted the "Searchlight," and I was told it was not a nice business.

I wanted to take her into my confidence, and she wouldn't hear a word, but scolded and called me names.

She was an unreasonable, ungrateful landlady.

I wished she _would_ put us out, then we should be rid of her .-- But wasn't it funny about that tidy?
What made me do that?
I never meant to.

Curious, the way we sometimes do things we don't want to at all .-- The old lady must be deaf; she didn't say anything all that time .-- Oh, I have a whole book of the "AEneid" to review, and it's getting late.
