"If it is your wish, I shall be glad to go with you, Mr. Jarney," said John, after gaining his composure.
Mr. Jarney noticed the effect of what he said upon the young man, and he could not restrain from saying: "I shall deem it a pleasure; and I know it will be a great favor to Mrs. Jarney if you go."
"I shall go," he said.
"Then we will leave the office early," said Mr. Jarney.
"May I have time to dress?" asked John.
"All the time you require, Mr. Winthrope. You may leave the office at three, and be ready to go at four."
"Thank you; I will be ready," returned John, as he gathered up his note book and papers, and repaired to his office.
