mrs. merton paused. she didn’t like the arrangement, but she was a just and merciful woman, and it was possible that warner had reformed, though she was not fully satisfied on that point.
“for a time,” she answered, “till he can find employment.”
“thank you, aunt eliza,” said the young man, relieved, for he had been uncertain how his aunt would treat him. “i hope to show that your kindness is appreciated.”
“i am rather tired now,” responded mrs. merton, as an indication that the interview was over.
“we’d better go and let aunt rest,” said warner, with alacrity. he did not feel altogether comfortable in the society of the old lady.
