We must save money now, mother, said Paul;
gpt
Do you know when he means to come home? Has Mr. Preston told you?
human
No, mother. I think I will call round in the morning and inquire. He has already been away more than a year.
gpt
I was just about to write you a letter, Paul.
human
Indeed, sir.
gpt
Yes; I am in receipt of a letter from Mr. Talbot, in which he announces his immediate return home. He will be here in four weeks, and he desires your mother to engage women to clean the house thoroughly, and put it in order for his occupation. Of course, you will keep an account of all you have to expend in this way, and you can hand me the bill.
human
Yes, sir. I will see that it is done.
