"I'll go up and see him. If it's somebody I don't want to see, I'll choke you."

"Who is it?" asked Grit puzzled.

"It's the man you sent me to."

"Good! You're a trump, Daniel," said Grit joyfully.

A minute after a confused noise was heard in the room above. Daniel turned pale.

"Tell him where I am, Daniel," said Grit, as the boy timidly left the room.
