"I was about to venture to advise that you go to a boarding house," pursued the young man.
"Thank you. I'll see."
"There's one opposite the hospital—a reasonable place."
"I've got to go to work," said the girl, to herself rather than to him.
"Oh, you have a position."
Susan did not reply, and he assumed that she had.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to call and see—Mr. Burlingham. The physicians at the hospital are perfectly competent, as good as there are in the city. But I'm not very busy, and I'd be glad to go."
"We haven't any money," said the girl. "And I don't know when we shall have. I don't want to deceive you."
"I understand perfectly," said the young man, looking at her with interested but respectful eyes. "I'm poor, myself, and have just started."
"Will they treat him well, when he's got no money?"
