I watched you from an upper window of the Junction Hotel, but could not leave Benella to argue with you.

When your respected husband and lover have charge of you, you will not be allowed such pranks, I warrant you.
Benella has improved wonderfully in the last twenty-four hours, and I am trying to give her some training for her future duties.

We can never forget our native land so long as we have her with us, for she is a perfect specimen of the Puritan spinster, though too young in years, perhaps, for determined celibacy.

Do you know, we none of us mentioned wages in our conversations with her?
Fortunately she seems more alive to the advantages of foreign travel than to the filling of her empty coffers.

(By the way, I have written to the purser of the ship that she crossed in, to see if I can recover the sixty or seventy dollars she left behind her.) Her principal idea in life seems to be that of finding some kind of work that will be 'interestin'' whether it is lucrative or not.
I don't think she will be able to dress hair, or anything of that sort--save in the way of plain sewing, she is very unskilful with her hands; and she will be of no use as courier, she is so provincial and inexperienced.
