family that we should be sold up, wouldn’t it be better to prevent it altogether? And if you and aunt Pullet,” he continued,PJS Herreklær Schroeder Parkas, looking at the latter, “think of leaving any money to me and Maggie,CG Menn Banff Parka, wouldn’t it be better to give it now, and pay the debt we’re going to be sold up for, and save my mother from parting with her furniture?”
There was silence for a few moments, for every one,Chaussures Adidas Ultra Boost Unisex, including Maggie, was astonished at Tom’s sudden manliness of tone. Uncle Glegg was the first to speak.
“Ay, ay, young man, come now! You show some notion o’ things. But there’s the interest, you must remember; your aunts get five per cent on their money, and they’d lose that if they advanced it; you haven’t thought o’ that.”
“I could work and pay that every year,” said Tom,PJS Dameklær Dodie Vest, promptly. “I’d do anything to save my mother from parting with her things.”
“Well done!” said uncle Glegg,Ralph Lauren Kortärmade skjortor, admiringly. He had been drawing Tom out, rather than reflecting on the practicability of his proposal. But he had produced the unfortunate result of irritating his wife.”
“Yes,Chaussures New Balance Minimus s, Mr. Glegg!” said that lady, with angry sarcasm. “It’s pleasant work for you to be giving my money away, as you’ve pretended to leave at my own disposal.
