Capitolo 18
without ceremony.
"I am an old maid", Rachel dictates, with dignity.
"That is the same thing", says the visitor, opposite Aunt sitting himself/herself/itself
Rachel that suspiciously looked at him/it.
"My aunt, Rachel Harding, Capt. Playing to bottles", introduced Jack. "Aunt Rachel,
Capt. To now play to bottles is the commander of a vase in I bring."
Aunt Rachel made a rigid courtesy and Capt. Playing to bottles looked at her/it curiously.
"Does it like job to sweater, ma'am?" he asked.
"I don't like anything", Rachel dictates, mournfully. "We should not put
our affections on terrestrial things."
"You would not say that if you had a companion, ma'am", said Capt. Playing to bottles,
facetiously.
"A companion!" Repeated Rachel, horror-stricken.
"Yes, ma'am. I suppose that you have had a companion of the duration or other."
"I don't think him/it correct to speak on such subject to an extraneous", says
Aunt Rachel, primly.
"Law, ma'am that you don't have need to be so particular."
Only to this moment, her Mrs. Harding entered the room, and you/he/she was introduced
to Capt. Playing to bottles from Jack. The captain immediately proceeded to business.
"His/her child, here, ma'am told me it is probable that you perhaps dangle a hammock for me
in some place in Your house. I liked his it looks, and here I am."
"You think that you would be satisfied with our simple rate, and humble
indulging, Capt. Playing to bottles?"
"Me not to be all right, ma'am; so, if you can take me, I will be."
Its way was frank, even if raw; and her Mrs. Harding happily
consented to do this way. You agreed that Playing to bottles should pay five dollars a
week for the three or four weeks he was waited for to be.
"I will return in a hour", says the new boarder. "I have a little
business to frequent to in front of supper."
When he had gone out, Aunt Rachel started to ill-omenedly cough. Evidently
some remonstration was coming.
"Martha", she said, solemnly, "I am afraid You done it offends in to take
that man of sailor."
"Because, Rachel?"
