"I have put my valise in the baggage-room," said Guy, and got a check for it. "I am glad you are going to take a room with me. I wish you would join me altogether."
"Then you'd have to pay expenses for both, as I have no money."
"That would be an objection, as I have only about enough money for my own use."
The two boys went out together, but, both being hungry, decided to postpone purchasing the valise until after dinner. They went into a restaurant on Fulton Street, and ordered a dinner at moderate cost, which they enjoyed with great relish. They were of an age to have a hearty appetite.
"It seems strange to me to be eating here," said Dean. "I never before ate at a hotel or restaurant."
"Your life must have been very quiet," said Guy.
"Yes; but I expect to have some excitement now."
"In what business is your employer?"
"I don't know," answered Dean.
Guy regarded him with surprise.
