A house like yours would suit me very well--very well indeed.

Could we not agree upon terms within my--within my power ?' Again the landlady pondered.
'Would you be willing to pay five and sixpence ?' 'Yes, I would pay five and sixpence--if you are quite sure that you could let me live in my own way with satisfaction to yourself.

I--in fact, I am a vegetarian, and as the meals I take are so very simple, I feel that I might just as well prepare them myself.

Would you object to my doing so in this room?
A kettle and a saucepan are really all--absolutely all--that I should need to use.

As I shall be much at home, it will be of course necessary for me to have a fire.' In the course of half an hour an agreement had been devised which seemed fairly satisfactory to both parties.
'I'm not one of the graspin' ones,' remarked the landlady.
