"But I don't wish to sell," said the widow
hurriedly.

house for Ben and myself."
"You could doubtless find other
accommodations. I dare say you could hire a couple of rooms from Elnathan
Perkins."
"I wouldn't live in that old shell," said Mrs. Barclay rather
indignantly, "and I am sure Ben wouldn't."
"I apprehend Benjamin will
have no voice in the matter," said Squire Davenport stiffly. "He is

"He is my main support, and my main

Mr. Kirk looked disappointed, but the squire
gave him an assuring look, as the widow could see.

"Yes, sir," assented Mrs. Barclay

assure you. What do you say, Kirk?"
"I quite agree with you, squire,"
said Kirk, in a strong, nasal tone. "But then, women don't know anything of
business."
