Bacheller, Irving, 1859-1950

sympathy. I shall want to sit often by your fireside. You'll find a good
school there for the children. If you'll think of it seriously, I'll try

the family. I'll talk it over with Sarah and see. Never mind the job. If
I keep you behavin' yourself, it'll be job enough. Anyway, I guess we can
manage to get along. Sarah's uncle in Boston died last month and left her
a little money. If we can get what we have well invested, all I shall
need will be a few acres and a few tools and some friends to swap stories
with."
"I've had a talk with Stuart and have some good news for Harry and Bim,"

him. The Kelsos have moved to Chicago, and I don't know how Bim stands.
