“Beats you? What for?”
“If I bring little money.”
“Does he beat you hard?”
“Si, signor, with a stick.”
“He must be a bad man,” said Henry, indignantly.
“How much money must you carry home?”
“Two dollars.”
“But it isn’t your fault, if people will not give you money.”
“Non importa. He beat me.”
“He ought to be beaten himself.”
