`` Is Mr. Richmond at home ? '' Matilda asked . `` Well , I s ` pose he is . I hai n't hearn him nor seen him go out since noon . Do ye want to see him , or is it a message ? -- ye want to see him , eh . Well , I s ` pose he 'll see you -- if he ai n't too busy -- and I do n't know when he gets time for all he has to do , but he gets it ; so I s ` pose I had ought to be satisfied .
