"Yes, sir."
"Come round next Saturday evening and tell me how you like it. I was your father's friend; I shall be glad if you will consider me yours."
"I shall be very glad to do so, Mr. Nugent," said Gerald, earnestly.
"Who was that you were talking with?" asked Abel, whom he met a minute later.
"Mr. Nugent."
"The rich man? Why didn't you introduce me?"
"I will some time if I have the opportunity."
"You are going to work Monday, ma tells me."
"Yes."
"She says a grocery store will be a good place for you."
