“I’m afraid I will,” answered Tom with a sigh. “I’ll tell you frankly, I felt pretty hopeful of getting the money from another source, but I’m disappointed in that, too.”
“What source, Tom?”
“Mr. Morgan.”
“Oh, yes! Well,” declared Ben, “he ought to.”
“I am sure he would help me if he were at home,” said Tom.
“You did a big thing for him, Tom.”
“Mr. Morgan thinks that way himself. I am sure of it, from what he said.”
“Maybe he will return to-morrow,” suggested Ben.
“Grace says he has business in New York until the end of the week.”
