ten o'clock on Monday
This week , even Alison did not dare to cross her in the smallest matter . There was not a single hitch in the arrangements which Mr. Williams had sketched out . Mrs. Faulkner took a great fancy to Alison , absolutely believed in her honesty and truth , and engaged her for a month 's trial on the spot . She told her to be sure to be with her by ten o'clock on Monday to begin her new duties . Grannie went herself to see Mr. Watson ; she had a private talk with him which no one knew anything about . He told her that David was a boy in a hundred , that he was certain to do well , for he was both clever and conscientious . He said that he could easily manage to fit up a bed for him in the back part of the shop ; so he was provided for , and , according to Grannie and Mr. Watson , provided for well .
