"The boy is candid. If all this is true, he is strangely lucky."
"Did you notice how stylishly he was dressed, pa?"
"I observed that he was dressed a good deal better than when he called at my office to-day."
"Even Percy Van Dyke noticed it, and asked me who he was."
"Did you tell him?"
"Yes, I said he was a cousin of mine, who was staying at the Metropolitan. He wanted to find out who was Ben's tailor."
"Your cousin seems a very smart boy. Perhaps he was right in thinking that he would be better off in the city."
"I never saw such a change in a boy in my life. I told him I would call on him at the hotel."
"Do so, Clarence. I confess I have a curiosity to learn how he has managed to get such a position."
