"I have clothes for you here—in that trunk. This key fits it. Open it."
Wondering much, Ben took the key, and, fitting it in the lock of the smaller trunk, lifted the lid. He found it full of shirts, under-garments, handkerchiefs, etc., of fine texture.
"You will find underneath two suits of clothes," said his employer. "Take them out."
Ben followed directions.
"Now take off your own clothes—all of them—and dress yourself from the contents of the trunk."
Ben hesitated. He could not at all understand what was happening to him.
"Of course," said the gentleman, "your present clothing won't do for my private secretary. The contents of this trunk are yours, if the clothes fit you."
Ben proceeded to remove his clothing, and in a few minutes he was newly rigged from top to toe. Every article fitted admirably.
"Now look at yourself in the mirror," said the gentleman, evidently pleased with the transformation.
