Work: A Story of Experience - Chapter 6

FOR some weeks Christie rested and refreshed herself by making her room gay and comfortable with the gifts lavished ¹ on her by the Carrols, and by sharing with others the money which Harry ² had smuggled ³ into her possession after she had steadily ⁴ refused to take one penny more than the sum agreed upon when she first went to them., ,She took infinite satisfaction in sending one hundred dollars to Uncle Enos, for she had accepted what he gave her as a loan, and set her heart on repaying every fraction of it.
