“‘And
my
duties,
sir?
I
should
be
glad
to
know
what
they
would
be.’”
“‘One
child—one
dear
little
romper
just
six
years
old.
Oh,
if
you
could
see
him
killing
cockroaches
with
a
slipper!
Smack!
smack!
smack!
Three
gone
before
you
could
wink!’
He
leaned
back
in
his
chair
and
laughed
his
eyes
into
his
head
again.”
“I
was
a
little
startled
at
the
nature
of
the
child’s
amusement,
but
the
father’s
laughter
made
me
think
that
perhaps
he
was
joking.”
“‘My
sole
duties,
then,’
I
asked,
‘are
to
take
charge
of
a
single
child?’”
“‘No,
no,
not
the
sole,
not
the
sole,
my
dear
young
lady,’
he
cried.
‘Your
duty
would
be,
as
I
am
sure
your
good
sense
would
suggest,
to
obey
any
little
commands
my
wife
might
give,
provided
always
that
they
were
such
commands
as
a
lady
might
with
propriety
obey.
You
see
no
difficulty,
heh?’”
“‘I
should
be
happy
to
make
myself
useful.’”
“‘Quite
so.
In
dress
now,
for
example.
We
are
faddy
people,
you
know—faddy
but
kind-hearted.
If
you
were
asked
to
wear
any
dress
which
we
might
give
you,
you
would
not
object
to
our
little
whim.
Heh?’”
“‘No,’
said
I,
considerably
astonished
at
his
words.”
