"Indeed! What kind of a place?"
"I shall have a place with Mr. Flint, of Union Square, a jeweler."
"I suppose Mr. Gale obtained you the place?"
"Yes, sir."
"I am not sure that you are acting wisely. I doubt if you can make expenses. What are you to be paid?"
"Five dollars a week."
"That is very fair pay for a boy of your age, but it won't go very far in New York."
"I suppose New York is an expensive place to live in," said Andy, noncommittally.
"Yes. You will have to pay all your wages for board. Your other expenses will have to come out of your father's pocket."
"I may be advanced."
