Clemantiny did not choose to answer this appeal . She rattled her dishes noisily into the dishpan . `` Well , where are you going to put him to sleep ? '' she demanded . `` The hands you 've got will fill the kitchen chamber . There 's only the spare room left . You 'll hardly put him there , I suppose ? Your philanthropy will hardly lead you as far as that . '' When Clemantiny employed big words and sarcasm at the same time , the effect was tremendous . But Miss Salome did n't wilt . `` What makes you so prejudiced against him ? '' she asked curiously . `` I 'm not prejudiced against him . But that story about himself did n't ring true . I worked in Upton years ago , and there were n't any Bensons there then . There 's more behind that he has n't told . I 'd find out what it was before I took him into my house , that 's all . But I 'm not prejudiced . '' `` Well , well , '' said Miss Salome soothingly , `` we must do the best we can for him . It 's a sort of duty .
And as for a XXXXX for him -- why , I 'll put him in Johnny 's . ''
