And I've been thinking about something, Kate.

It strikes me that, perhaps, it would be better for you to hold only one office." "Why?
Don't I do well enough ?" asked Kate, quickly, stopping herself very suddenly in her swinging.
"Oh, yes! you do better than any one else could.

But, you see, the other fellows--I mean the Board--may think that some of them ought to have an office.

I'd give them one of mine, but none of them would do for Engineer.

They don't know enough about the business." "Which office would you give up, if you were me ?" asked Kate.
"Oh, I'd give up the Secretaryship, of course," said Harry.
