“Then I’ll buy one of them.”
“I’ll tell you what you do, Teddy.”
“Lend the money to you, eh?”
“No; I am earning plenty for myself. But every week, now, I shall send all my money home to Mrs. Cahill. I wrote to her about it while I was sick. She is going to put it in the bank for me at Edmeston, with herself appointed as trustee. That’s necessary, you see, because I am not of age. Then no one can take it away from me.”
“You mean your Uncle Abner?” questioned Teddy.
“Yes. I don’t know that he would want to; but I’m not taking any chances. Now, why not send your money along at the same time? Mrs. Cahill will deposit it in the same way, and at the end of the season think what a lot of money you will have?”
“Regular fortune?”
“Yes, a regular fortune.”
“What’ll I do with all that money?”
“Do what I’m going to do—get an education.”
