Mr. Dodge did know, and told him. Ken whistled. "It sounds as though
we'd have to move," he said. "The lease ends April first," said the attorney. "We could get a little tiny house somewhere," Felicia suggested. "Couldn't you get quite a nice one for six hundred dollars a year?" This sum represented, more or less, their entire income--minus the expenses of Hilltop Sanatorium. "But what would you eat?" Mr. Dodge inquired gently. "Oh, dear, that's true!" said Felicia. And clothes! What _do_ you think we'd better do?" "You have no immediate relatives, as I remember?" Mr. Dodge mused. "None but our great-aunt, Miss Pelham," Ken said, "and _she_ lives in Los Angeles." "She's very old, too," Phil said, "and lives in a tiny house. She's not at all well off; we shouldn't want to bother her. And there is Uncle Lewis." "Oh, _him_!" said Ken, gloomily. "It takes three months even to get an answer from a letter to him," Felicia explained. "He's in the Philippines, doing something to Ignorants." |
