"We don't have turkey every day, Mrs. Flanagan," said Adeline. "We thought we would have it to-day by way of variety." "They must have come into some money," thought Mrs. Flanagan. "Perhaps that old lady was their aunt." "I'm sure I'm glad you're doin' so well," she said. "I hope you'll stay with me, in spite of all that's past and gone. You see I am that worried sometimes to get money to pay my rent that I may speak kind of cross like, but I don't mean anything--as is well-known to you." "Didn't you mean anything this morning when you were going to put us out of the house because I could not pay the whole of the rent?" asked Rose. "I didn't mean it. They were only hasty words," said the landlady, stoutly. "I hope you'll stay with me, for it wouldn't look natural to see anybody else goin' in and comin' out of these rooms." "I cannot tell yet what we may do," said Rose. "I am glad you didn't mean what you said this morning," she added, quietly, "for it made us feel very sober. I thought you meant to put us into the street." "I'm sure I'm very sorry. I was cross, and I didn't know what I said. Well, I must be goin' down and gettin' Mike's supper, for he always comes home late." "It's the way of the world, Rose," said Adeline, as the landlady disappeared. "What does it all mean?" asked Harry, puzzled. "What has made that old cat so good-natured all at once?" "Roast turkey," answered Rose, dryly. "She thinks we are prospering, and will be good tenants." "You are going to stay, ain't you?" Then the new prospects of the family were explained to Harry, who was much exhilarated by the account. "Can't I give lessons in something?" he asked. "You might give lessons in whistling," said Addie, who didn't enjoy her brother's performance in that line; "but I hope you won't receive pupils at home." CHAPTER XX. THE NEW HOME. Two days later Rose Beaufort received another call from Miss Jane Wilmot. "My dear," said the spinster, "your new rooms are ready for you, and you can move in at once." "Our rent is paid here till Saturday," suggested Rose. "Give your landlady the benefit of the balance of the week. Is this furniture all yours?" "Such as it is." "You won't want it. Any articles that you do not value you had better send to an auction store to sell. The flat is already well furnished." "A tenant on the floor below has offered to buy the furniture," said Rose. "Does he make you a fair offer?" "He offers thirty-five dollars." "A low price, but it will save you trouble to accept it. When that matter is arranged I will send my carriage, and take you and your sister right over to your new home."
