alone. So I came down here to Cape Cod."
Louise said it directly and as simply as the storekeeper himself might
have spoken. Yet it seemed really difficult for Cap'n Abe to get her
meaning into his head.
"You mean you was intendin' to cast anchor here--with _me_?"
"If it is agreeable. Of course I'll pay my board if you'll let me.
You have a room to spare, haven't you?"
"Land sakes, yes!"
"And I am not afraid to use my hands. I might even be of some slight
use," and she smiled at him till his own slow smile responded, troubled
and amazed though he evidently was by her determination. "I've roughed
it a good deal with daddy-prof. I can cook--some things. And I can do
housework----"
"Bet Gallup does that," interposed Cap'n Abe, finally getting his
bearings. "Hi-mighty, ye did take me aback all standin', Niece Louise!
Ye did, for a fac'. But why not? Land sakes, there's room enough,
an' to spare! Ye don't hafter put them pretty han's to housework.
Betty Gallup'll do all that. An' you don't have to pay no board money.
