Excerpt: ...can nothing be done?" "Why, Miss Merton," said Meadows, looking down, "you can't expect me to do anything for him. If it was his brother now, Lawyer Crawley shouldn't ever take him out of my house." Susan flushed all over. "That I am sure you would, Mr. Meadows," cried she (for feeling obscured grammar).
