"Then you think I needn't hire another journeyman?"
"No."
"If you both work harder I must increase your wages, and then I shall save money."
"I sha'n't object to that," said Ferguson, smiling.
"Nor I," said Harry.
"I was intending at any rate to raise Harry's wages, as I find he does nearly as much as a journeyman. Hereafter I will give you five dollars a week besides your board."
"Oh, thank you, sir!" said Harry, overjoyed at his good fortune.
"As for you, Ferguson, if you will give me an hour more daily, I will add three dollars a week to your pay."
"Thank you, sir. I think I can afford now to give Mrs. Ferguson the new bonnet she was asking for this morning."
"I don't want to overwork you two, but if that arrangement proves satisfactory, we will continue it."
