"Mrs. Carson has come to see you," she says, in an agony of fear, giving her a little shake. "Well, come with me, and I'll stay till you turn me out.' "No, of course not," says Mr. Rodney, unblushingly! "as a rule, girls nowadays can't endure men with money." "If you have Jenkins on your side you are pretty safe," says Geoffrey. "My mother is more afraid of Jenkins than you would be of a land-leaguer. Well, good-by again. I must be off.".
