She threw a suspicious glance upon my person and on the diminutive bundle I held in my hand, and the result was unfavorable.
Putting her arms akimbo, and assuming a stately manner, which appeared to be far from natural, she told me she had no spare room for boarders her house was already full.
"Very well," said I, "I must then apply elsewhere.

Mr.Bohun said he thought you would accommodate me, and he would be responsible for the pay." "Mr.Bohun! O, that's another thing.

I can always find room for a friend of Mr Bohun;" and the whole broad expanse of her face was brightened by a smile.
On inquiry I found that the price for board was two dollars and a half a day! I was startled at this announcement.

The amount struck me as exorbitant when compared with the accommodations.
