What _are_ you going to do, Geoffrey?
Mrs.
Jones's rooms are rather expensive for people in our impoverished condition.

Besides, I am sure that she cannot look after Effie.

Just think, she has eight children of her own, poor old dear.

And I must take Anne with me; she is Effie's French nurse, you know, a perfect treasure.
I am going to stay in a big house, and my experience of those big houses is, that one never gets waited on at all unless one takes a maid.

You see, what is everybody's business is nobody's business.
