How are you going to keep Joe, if I let you try, Kate?
gpt
Well, father, I ought to be able to make a pound a month by needlework, Christmas cards, and so forth; there is a bit of land at the cottage, so that turned out on that in summer and not much worked in winter, Joe need not cost much to keep, and I'll groom him myself.

I thought it was her colour which the sun spoilt, Kate?
