“Perhaps Mr. Preston will recommend you to his friends, and you can get more work that way.”
“I wish I could.”
“I will mention it to him, when I carry back the last half dozen.”
“Is he going to send the cloth?”
“I nearly forgot that, too. I have an order on Barclay & Co. for the necessary amount of cloth. I can go up there to-morrow morning and get it.”
“That will take you from your work, Paul.”
“Well, I can close up for a couple of hours.”
“I don't think that will be necessary. I will go up myself and present the order, and get them to send it home for me.”
“Will they do that?”
“It is their custom. Or, if the bundle isn't too large. I can bring it home myself in the car.”
