"You won't work much longer in my father's shop. I'll have you discharged."
"Just as you please. I think I can earn a living in some other way. Come, Johnny, if James has no further business with you, we may as well go along."
James, appearing to have no wish to resume hostilities, Mark and Johnny walked away.
"You won't hear the last of this very soon," said James, as a farewell shot.
"Do you think he'll get his father to discharge you, Mark?" asked Johnny.
"I think very likely."
"I am very sorry you have got into trouble on my account."
"Don't worry, Johnny. I did right, and am ready to take the consequences."
