Well , I hope by next Christmas I 'll not be quite bankrupt . I 'm going into Mr. Callender 's store down at Murraybridge in February . He has offered me the place , you know . '' `` Wo n't your aunt miss you terribly ? '' said Aunt Emmy gravely . Clorinda flushed . There was a note in Aunt Emmy 's voice that disturbed her . `` Oh , yes , I suppose she will , '' she answered hurriedly . `` But she 'll get used to it very soon . And I will be home every Saturday night , you know . I 'm dreadfully tired of being poor , Aunt Emmy , and now that I have a chance to earn something for myself I mean to take it . I can help Aunt Mary , too . I 'm to get four dollars a week . '' `` I think she would rather have your companionship than a part of your salary , Clorinda , '' said Aunt Emmy . `` But of course you must decide for yourself , dear . It is hard to be poor . I know it . I am poor . '' `` You poor ! '' said Clorinda , kissing her .
`` Why , you are the richest woman I know , Aunt Emmy -- rich XXXXX love and goodness and contentment . ''
