"Then you don't know whether he lives far from here or not?"
"No."
"I wonder whether I shall suit him," queried Dean anxiously.
"My father seems to think you will," answered Brandon. "Of course I don't know anything about it."
"I will try to suit him at any rate," said Dean earnestly.
"Do you think your uncle will let you go?"
"Yes, it is a fair chance. I've talked over the matter with him and he sees that there isn't anything for me to do in Waterford, and that I shall have to leave town to get a place that is worth having."
"I shall envy you for one thing," said Brandon.
