"I want you to see the girl and the old people; I haven't confidence to propose in person. You can do it for me?"
"With all my heart. I give you joy of the clerkship and the girl—they're yours."
"I'm eternally obliged, Jack."
"Not the least, my boy—always ready to serve my friends. By the way, have you got any money about your clothes? I invited you to take coffee, but I forgot my purse in my other trousers—no change, you know."
"There, get this V changed," said Bliffins, handing him a bank note.
Jack took the note and walked up to the counter.
"Coffee and pie for two, my dear" said he to the attendant. "It's all right—you know me—pay next time—Withers and friend. Come, Bill, I've fixed it."
"But the change!" said Bill.
"Never mind the change—morrow do as well. By, by,—au revoir."
"Remember the governor!"
