“If you will make me as good a boxer as yourself, I shall feel very much indebted.”
“That will come in time. I am quite flattered at the opportunity of posing as a teacher. Have you a taste for jewelry? Just look in this drawer.”
Arthur opened one of the small drawers in his bureau, and displayed a varied collection of studs, sleeve buttons, collar buttons, scarf pins, etc.
“You might set up a jeweler’s store,” suggested Chester. “Where did you get them all?”
“I had an uncle who was in the business, and he and other relatives have given me plenty.”
“I haven’t even a watch.”
“No, really? Why, how can you get along without one?”
“I have to.”
“Wait a minute.”
Arthur opened another drawer, revealing two silver watches, one an open face, the other a hunting watch.
