I shall give Master Carson notice that at the end of a month I shall require his services no longer--the fellow puts himself too forward.

That will please Mary; she never liked him, and women in these matters of likes and dislikes are shrewder than we are.

Perhaps when she hears that he is going, and reads this letter, which I will forward to her by the carrier, she may come back to me.

I certainly miss her sorely, and the household matters go all wrong now that she is away.

She ought not to have said things to me; but no wise man thinks anything of what a woman says when she's angry; and now that I think things over, it certainly seems to me that she had some sort of warrant for her words.
Yes, I certainly don't know what can have come over me, unless it was that fellow, Andrew Carson.
