　　"You’ll have to come back and get it then," he said, laughing.

　　"There's something else I want to talk about you, sir," I said. This was not going to be easy for me to say. "You have told me you're going to marry Miss Ingram soon, and that Adele should go away to school. So I must get ready to find another job somewhere. I will begin looking."
