What would be your advice, Colonel?

My mother left the matter of rent to my judgment, and we will pay promptly in advance. Shall I sign any papers?

Land o' Goshen! the marks your little fist would make on a paper wouldn't cut much of a figure in a court o' law! chuckled old Harmon.

Can I walk back, Colonel? asked Gilbert, trying to preserve some dignity under the storekeeper's attacks.

I'd like to take some measurements and make some sketches of the rooms for my mother.

All right, the Colonel responded.

Your train doesn't go till two o'clock. I'll give you a bite of lunch and take you to the station.
