Chapter IV
She had come out and unlocked the door and was now turning away. "I think your man had someone to take the up-stairs front room; but he didn't come--you'll have to get someone to do it and you double up. The Argand Estate charges such rent, we all have to do that. Well, if I can help you, I'm right here." I was struck by her kindness to the forlorn stranger, and the latter's touching recognition of it, expressed more in looks and in tone than in words.
