I don't want it mentioned, because if it gets about among the other ladies, they'd think we wanted to make a dressing of it;--and there wouldn't be room for them all; would there ?" "No; there wouldn't," said Mr Cheesacre, who had been out on the previous evening, inspecting, and perhaps limiting, the carpenters in their work.
"That's just it," said Mrs Greenow.

"But there won't be any harm, will there, Mr Cheesacre, in Jeanette's going out with our things?
She'll ride in the cart, you know, with the eatables.

I know Jeannette's a friend of yours." "We shall be delighted to have Jeanette," said Mr Cheesacre.
"Thank ye, sir," said Jeannette, with a curtsey.
"Jeannette, don't you let Mr Cheesacre turn your head; and mind you behave yourself and be useful.

Well; let me see;--what else is there?
Mrs Jones, you might as well give me that ham now.

Captain Bellfield, hand it over.
