I don't want my girl to conduct herself in any such way as will prejudice her, Mr. Wanning, she said thoughtfully.

If you've got daughters, you know how that is. You've been liberal with Annie, and it's a good position for her. It's right she should go to business every day, and I want her to do her work right, but I like to have her home after working hours. I always think a young girl's time is her own after business hours, and I try not to burden them when they come home. I'm willing she should do your work as suits you, if it's her wish; but I don't like to press her. The good times she misses now, it's not you nor me, sir, that can make them up to her. These young things has their feelings.

Oh, I don't want to press her, either, Wanning said hastily.

I simply want to know that you understand the situation. I've made her a little present in my will as a recognition that she is doing more for me than she is paid for.

That's something above me, sir. We'll hope there won't be no question of wills for many years yet, Mrs. Wooley spoke heartily.

I'm glad if my girl can be of any use to you, just so she don't prejudice herself.
human
It's all right, Mama Wooley, don't you worry,

You see, Annie ain't the sort of girl that would want to be spotted circulating around with a monied party her folks didn't know all about. She'd lose friends by it.
