“You can come to my house. In a few days I shall probably find you a place.”
“Thank you, sir. Where do you live?”
Mr. McCracken gave an address on Lexington Avenue.
“I will go there this afternoon.”
“I shall be home at five. You may present yourself then.”
Bernard was about to leave the office when Mr. McCracken called him back.
“Wait a minute. Did you notice what Mr. Snowdon said about his expense in getting you back?”
“Yes, sir,” answered Bernard with a smile. “Do you think he expended five dollars?”
“No, sir. I know he did not. The horse he hired is about twenty-five years old, and he can have it whenever he please for seventy-five cents.”
“So Mr. Snowdon wishes to make a little profit out of the transaction.”
