"And won't you have some more tea, Mrs. W?"

Moved into the downstairs room today. Got it all whitewashed and fixed up pretty slick. Them three rugs ain't so worse, considerin' the price.  Howsomever, I'm still sleeping upstairs. I tried it down here last night, and there's too much early a.m. killali to satisfy me. Anyway, I'm inclined to agree with Stewart that this end of the house ain't pertikkly healthy. There's a drain runnin' right under the windows, and that's serious out here.

Merry little gescheft these days.
