CHAPTER VIII
12/15

"She looks after grandfather, and helps Aunt Lucy with the housework." "Well, come, Louise; we'll go home," said Uncle John, sadly.

"I'd hoped to be able to drive this fine fellow back, but Dan'll have to groan an' balk all the way to the farm." Ethel smiled.
"Better buy at my price, Mr.Merrick," she suggested.
"Tell you what I'll do," he said, pausing.
