"That is crowding us somewhat, sir," smiled the tailor. "I hardly think we can——"
"I will pay five dollars extra if the suit is delivered at the American House at six o'clock in the morning," said Frank, quietly.
"Very well, sir. I think that will cover the extra expense of rushing it through. If the gentleman will step back this way, his measure will be taken."

"He didn't even ask a deposit of you, Merry," said Jack, in surprise.
"No. Benjamin vouched for me, and that was all that was necessary. No deposit was required under such circumstances."

"He won't. He wouldn't want them left on his hands."
Frank's confidence reassured Jack, and they strolled over toward Tremont Street and finally came out at the Common.
"I'd like to have a little time to look Boston over?" said Jack.
