"There," continued James, "we take a carriage."
"And how much will the carriage be?" asked Mr. George.
"To go to Broek and back, and then to Saandam, will be ten guilders."
Mr. George made memoranda of these sums on his paper, as James named them.
"And the tolls," continued James, "will be one guilder and twenty-five cents more."
"And the driver?" asked Mr. George.
In most of the countries of Europe, when you make a bargain for the carriage, the driver's services are not included in it. He expects a fee besides.
"The driver, fifty cents. Half a guilder," said James.
"Is that enough for him?" asked Mr. George.
"Yes, sir," said James, "that's enough."
