"Thank you. From what you say, I am sorry Anderson has taken the
fellow into the office."

"You needn't have much to say to him."

"I shan't trouble myself much about him. I didn't like his looks
when I first set eyes on him. I suppose old Mother Anderson will

another ride?"

"I can get away nest Monday afternoon, at three."

"All right. I'll manage to get off at the same time. We'll go to
Whiston and take supper at the hotel. It does a fellow good to get
off now and then. It won't cost more than five dollars apiece

"We'll get the carriage charged. The fact is, I'm little low on
funds."

"So am I, but it won't matter. Griffin will wait for his pay."
