And that, I think, will suit you better than a purely French household." "Does your friend take boarders ?" asked Rachel, quickly.
"Not as a rule, as far as I know.

You will thus find it more expensive than at an ordinary _pension;_ but I am almost certain that both Mr.and Mrs.Barnett, who is a French lady, are the sort of people you will like.

And it is exactly in the American society of Paris that you will have the best opportunity of finding employment if you wish for it.

At any rate, you can stay some time in Mr.Barnett's house, until you find something else you prefer." His tone was deliberate and decided, as if he already regarded the matter as finally settled; and when Rachel got up to take her leave she found that her mind was already made up, without being conscious of how she had arrived at her conclusion.

She looked forward to a new and more active life, with mingled feelings of expectation and pleasure.
