They woke up at seven o’clock.
“How did you rest, Joe?” asked George Morgan.
“Very well, sir.”
“Do you feel ready for breakfast?”
“As soon as I can earn money enough to pay for it.”
“Don’t trouble yourself about that. You are going to breakfast with me.”
“You are very kind, Mr. Morgan, but I wish you had some work for me to do, so that I could pay you.”
“That may come after awhile. It might not be safe to delay your breakfast till you could pay for it. Remember, you have done me a great service, which fifty breakfasts couldn’t pay for.”
“Don’t think of that, Mr. Morgan,” said Joe modestly. “Anybody would do what I did.”
“I am not sure whether everybody would have the courage. But you must leave me to show my appreciation of your services in my own way.”
