"I should like to see Frank and Carrie," said Oliver quietly. "They are the only persons I regret in Brentville."
"No love lost between us," returned Roland at once, applying the remark to himself.
"Probably not," said Oliver, with a smile.
"Have you got another place?" enquired Roland curiously.
"Not yet."
"I suppose you will find it hard, as you can't bring any recommendation."
"I wouldn't accept one from Mr. Bond," said Oliver haughtily.
"How do you get along then?"
"Pretty well, thank you."
"I mean, how do you pay your expenses?" persisted Roland. "You have no income, you know."
