So, when I went to the office the next morning, we had fully determined to go on the trip, if we could find some one to take charge of our place while we were gone.

When I returned from the office in the afternoon, I had agreed to go to St.Louis.

By this time, I had no choice in the matter, unless I wished to interfere very much with my own interests.

We were to start in two days.

If in that time we could get any one to stay at the place, very well; if not, Pomona must assume the charge.
