We could get it--the doctor had seen the owner--for a small sum per annum, and here was positively no end to its capabilities.
We sat up until twenty minutes past two, talking about that house.

We ceased to call it a boat at about a quarter of eleven.
The next day I "took" the boat and paid a month's rent in advance.

Three days afterward we moved into it.
We had not much to move, which was a comfort, looking at it from one point of view.

A carpenter had put up two partitions in it which made three rooms--a kitchen, a dining-room and a very long bedroom, which was to be cut up into a parlor, study, spare-room, etc., as soon as circumstances should allow, or my salary should be raised.

Originally, all the doors and windows were in the roof, so to speak, but our landlord allowed us to make as many windows to the side of the boat as we pleased, provided we gave him the wood we cut out.
