“I should enjoy having him with me,” continued Dawkins.
“Did you like Prescott?”
“No, sir,” said Dawkins, promptly, “I didn't want to say so before, but now, since he's turned out so badly, I don't mind saying that I never thought much of him.”
“On the contrary,” said Mr. Danforth, “I liked him from the first. Perhaps we are wrong in thinking that he took the money.”
“I should think there could be no doubt of it,” said Dawkins, not liking the sympathy and returning good feeling for Paul which his employer manifested.
“I don't agree with you,” said Mr. Danforth, coldly. “I have decided to reinstate Paul in his former place.”
“Then, if any more money is missing, you will know where it has gone,” said Dawkins, hastily.
“I shall.”
“Then there is no chance for my cousin?”
“I am expecting to have a vacancy.”
