The Paying Guest

CHAPTER IX
22/23

We have taken a very nice one at Holloway.

But of course something happened, and mother and Cissy and I quarrelled so dreadfully that I went off and took a lodging.

And then Tom said that we must be married at once; and so we were, without any fuss at all, and I think it was ever so much better, though some girls would not care to go in their plain dress and without friends or anything.

After it was over, Tom and I had just a little disagreement about something, but of course he gave way, and I don't think we shall get on together at all badly.

My stepfather has been very nice, and is paying for all the furniture, and has promised me a lot of things.
