"What shall we do first?"
"We want a furnished house, Terence."
"Sure you can get hundreds of 'em, sir."
"Do you know of one close handy?"
"I saw one in Nicholson Street only yesterday, for I drove a gent to look at it, but he said the rent was too much."
"How much was it, Terence?"
"Two pounds ten a week."
"Let's go and have a look at it."
Calling a cab they drove up Collins Street to Nicholson Street, and half-an-hour later they had the receipt for two weeks' rent of an eight-roomed house.
"The next thing for you to do, Terence, is to swell up a bit," said Hal.
