thought never came into my mind appropriate the money thinks to your teaching mother and i returned it aa a matter af course mr gilbert choes to make a great thing of it and has offered me a position aa his private secretary at a salary double that i am getting now so yoa see i can ask alice to be my wife at once instead of keeping her waiting as we expected for years for i would not have taken
