Of course I _am_ your guardian now, and I shall be held responsible for whatever expense comes to the estate.

Itvis quite a responsibility, and I so understand it.

As I said to you when I told you I'd decided to take the job on trial, _while_ I have it it'll be my pride to see that you or your brother don't lose anything.

I intend, if the Almighty spares me so long and I keep on with the trust, to turn over, when my term's out, at least as much to you and Steve as your father left.

That's all.
