“When you get tired of providing me with a home, Mr. Tarbox, I will find one somewhere else.”
“So you think, but if you leave my home you’ll become a poor tramp.”
Rodney laughed.
“I guess you’re right, grandfather,” he said.
Grant darted a look at him which showed that he understood the nature of his feelings.
“Well,” he said, “I’ll take the risk.”
“I don’t take back the offer of a suit of clothes, Grant,” said Rodney smoothly. “I’ll bring ’em over the next time I come.”
“Yes, do, Rodney,” put in his grandfather.
“You needn’t take the trouble, Rodney,” said Grant. “I shan’t wear the suit if you bring it.”
“I suppose you expect I’ll buy you a new one,” sneered Seth Tarbox.
