[Rudder Grange by Frank R. Stockton]@TWC D-Link bookRudder Grange CHAPTER XI 11/23
The horse was at home yesterday, and the boy did not go after the express-wagon. They thought that if they could keep us here, until our company had gone, we would stay as long as we originally intended, and they would continue to make money out of us.
But they are mistaken.
We are going home immediately." At this point I could not help thinking that Euphemia might have consulted me in regard to her determination, but she was very much in earnest, and I would not have any discussion before these people. "Now, listen!" said Euphemia, addressing the down-cast couple, "we are going home, and you two are to stay here all this day and to-night, and take care of these things.
You can't work to-day, and you can shut up your house, and bring your whole family here if you choose.
We will pay you for the service,--although you do not deserve a cent,--and we will leave enough here for you to eat.
