“Your income would be a good deal increased if you had no board to pay.”
“Of course. You don't know any generous minded person who will board me for nothing, do you?”
“There's a new office boy in your office, isn't there?”
“Yes, a country boy.”
“Did you know he was boarding here?”
“No; is he?”
“Mr. Reynolds told me to-night he was going to keep him here permanently, as a companion for his little son.”
“Lucky for him.”
“I wish Mr. Reynolds would give you a home here.”
“I would rather he would make it up in money, and let me board where I please.”
