“Very likely. There's a great deal of difference between the country and the city.”
“Is it easy to make money in the city?” asked Herbert.
“Yes, if a man is sharp and has some money to start with. Do you think of going there?”
“I am afraid it would be of no use. I have no money to start with, and I am afraid I am not smart.”
“Wait and I may give you a lift. Here's my card.”
“Thank you, sir,” said Herbert, as he read: “Andrew Temple, No.—Nassau Street, Room 12.”
“That's my office; I speculate in stocks.”
“Is that a good business?”
“Capital, if you know the ropes. If you ever come to the city, call at my office.”
“Thank you, sir. Here is Squire Leech's house.”
