"Thank you, Mr. Warren. I shall be able to get along for the present."
Soon Sam Perkins arrived, with a new and gorgeous necktie.
"Glad to see you, Andy," he said. "Won't you go with me to the Star Theater this evening?"
"I can't, Sam; I have no money to spare."
"I thought you got a good salary?"
"Just at present I have none at all. I have been discharged."
"I am sorry for that. I wish there was a vacancy in our place; I should like to get you in there."
"Thank you. That is quite friendly."
Andy was about to go down to supper when Eva, the servant, came upstairs.
"There's a messenger boy downstairs wants to see you, Mr. Grant," she said.
