“What are you going to do with your boy?”
“I have not decided. Perhaps he may go to college.”
“I think I shall be a lawyer,” said James.
“A good profession. Some of our New York lawyers make great incomes.”
“Do you live in New York?” asked James.
“Yes; that is my residence. You must establish yourself in the city when you are ready to practice.”
“That is just what I want to do; I don't want to bury myself in a one-horse country town like this.”
“And be a one-horse lawyer,” suggested Temple, laughing. “Quite right, my young friend. In the city alone you will find a broad field of action.”
“That's just the way I think,” said James.
“I needn't say I would do all in my power to push you, and I flatter myself I have some influence.”
