Don addressed the letter to the office, mailed it, and went home to dress. But before going upstairs he called to Nora.
“Nora,” he said, “you know that I’m in business now?”
“Yes, sir.”
“And you wouldn’t like to see me fired, would you?”
“Oh, Lord, sir!” gasped Nora.
“Then you get me up to-morrow morning at seven o’clock, because if I’m late again that is just what is going to happen. And you know what Dad would say to that.”
The next morning Don stepped briskly into the office five minutes ahead of Miss Winthrop.
