He wants to see me, does he? Yes, he does. What's the matter, isn't she contented us to live here? And must she include even when I'm trying to read it?
Please, say for me to tell you this. I tell you that is all I know. All right, Dora, let her come in. But you ought to do something for me. Yes, Mr. Benton, whatever it is I do.
You ought to listen outside the door when Irene comes in. Listen. And remember everything she says. Many years I work for you, Mr. Benton. Never do you ask me to do something like this. Never mind whether you ever did it before or do it now. Get her in here right away. You hear me right away.
You hear me right away? Yes, yes, yes. And I hear you right away. I'm going to be standing. Go in here. Thank you, darling. Well, well, what is it I mean? Uncle Walter. You what?
Come, pound it, girl. What is it? Uncle Walter, I want to leave this house. I'm going away. Good. Goodbye. I've come to ask for a favor. I'll need some money. Just enough to get started in another city.
Just until I get a job. You'll need some money, will you? And you think I'll give it to you? Haven't I done enough for you? Haven't you lived here with me for 10 years? Ever since your father died?
Yes, that's true. Well, what's the matter? Isn't this how good enough for you? Everybody stop you, you worked you hard around here. Uncle Walter, you don't want me here. You've only kept me with you so you could have me near enough to hurt every time you wanted to.
