"Probably Miss Holbrook will show you the letter if you ask her."
"I will. I should like to see what old Fogson says. He don't admire you very much."
"There is no love lost between us."
"Well, what are you going to do?" inquired Percy, whose weak point was curiosity.
"I shall try to get another position."
"Do you expect to go back to the stage?"
"No; my old part in the 'Gold King' has been taken by the actor whose place I filled during his sickness."
"Then you haven't anything in view."
"Nothing particular."
"Then I advise you to go back to the poorhouse. Fogson will be glad to see you. I will arrange it with father."
