I do declare, Hickory Hickox, if you haven't been and wasted the whole morning, fooling with those Dorrance young ones! Now what have you been doing?
gpt
Oh, nothin' in particular. Just helpin' 'em get settled a bit. Lookin' after their boats and things, and buildin' a little house for them rabbits of theirs. That Leicester, he's a smart chap; handy with tools, and quick to catch on to anything.

Well I _am_ surprised! Wasting a whole morning building a rabbit-coop!

For the land's sake, Susan, it ain't wasted time. They pay me for all I do for 'em, and they pay me well, too.

They're extravagant people. They have no business to hire you to work around so much, when you've got plenty to do at home.

Oh, don't worry; Hickox'll look after things. It'll be all right.
