himself with a knife and swore dire revenge on
the lady, nearly sticking Mrs Leave by mis-
take.       Other boarders newly arrived that

stanter � telling Mrs Leave, �she had made
a good thing out of them.� (Of course she had
done a little borrowing or the like.)     Today,
Sunday, Ritchie and Moorhouse were quite
affectionate, spite of the formers discoulered optics.
Moorhouse had apologized, owning he was drunk.
I suppose they all were, his wife and all.
