I am under a cloud here, and--your mother called to see my daughter this afternoon, and I thought that possibly you would pardon me if I put it all on a little different basis.

I could have sent for the bill which you have so generously not sent, which you have so generously allowed my poor, little daughter to think was settled, said he,
gpt
Very well,

If you will have the bill made out and sent me to-morrow, I will send you my note by return mail,
gpt
Very well, Mr. Carroll,

You have a pleasant home here, Mr. Anderson,

Yes. Captain Carroll, will you be seated again for a few minutes. I have something I would like to say to you.
