"Yes, sir. I will conduct you to his house, if you wish."
"Thank you; I wish you would."
Dean had to go out of his way a short distance, but, being of an obliging disposition, he did so willingly.
"That is the house, sir."
"Thank you; I haven't any change, or I would pay you for your trouble."
"It is quite unnecessary," said Dean, hastily. "I don't care for any pay."
"Well, thank you, then."
"I wonder who that is," thought Dean. "I don't like his looks much, and I wish he hadn't offered me pay for guiding him. He doesn't seem to have been here before."
