Mrs. Alexander

Capitolo 64

"Then he says."

"But it did you it doesn't say for before he would take ten for cent, without
this sacrifice?"

"_He_ so for first it said;  then this plan seemed to strike him/it, and he was
very fixed around him."

"It is a terrible place to go to." The words burst from the lips of Katherine
before she could stay.

"I cannot accept really such condition as this", her Mrs. Liddell cried.

"And I have to exhort not to refuse him/it to her", Mr. Said Newton, impressively,
"in the interest of Your daughter and nephews. I have to point out that from
refusing her/it not only strips him some provisional help You
requires, but You firm Your daughter from every opportunity to win
on his/her uncle from the influence of his/her presence. Propinquity, my darling
lady--the propinquity sometimes works they wonder;  and the Mr. Liddell has a great
gives in his/her power. I would not encourage the false hopes, but this is a

Silence achieved. The choice was a serious difficulty. Mrs. Liddell looked
to Katherine, and Katherine looked at the carpet.

Suddenly Katherine quickly looked on, and says, in a clear, definite
voice:  "I will go. I will undertake the office of secretary and
housewife--at least until my mother pay this loan."

"Katie, my child as it will be able to bear him/it?"

"Miss Liddell has decided wisely and well", says the lawyer. "ME

abnegation."

"But, the Mr. Newton, I cannot consent without the reflection. I also have
of the conditions to impose."

"And is they?" puts in Newton, uncomfortably.

"I cannot clearly define entirely them on the incitement of the moment;  but I owe
has allowed for going and to see whenever every my daughter I choose, and she owes
has the right to spend one day of week in house."

"It is probable that this is systematized", says the lawyer, thoughtfully. "My is brave
dear lady. Sacrifice anything of the present to assure good future."
