“That's very encouraging,” said Herbert, laughing. “How about yourself?”
“Oh, I shall be a rich man like father.”
“That's very encouraging for you. I hope when you are a man you'll give me work if I need it.”
“I will bear it in mind,” said James, with an important air. “Now I must be going.” That day, at dinner, James said to his father: “That Carter boy has got a job.”
“Has he?” asked the squire, not very well pleased.
“Yes, he's working at Mr. Crane's.”
“What is he doing?”
“Working in the garden.”
“What wages does Crane pay him?”
“None at all. He says he has agreed to work for the third of the crops.”
