"The first sensible words you've spoken this morning."
"I want to tell you how much I appreciate your kindness, Oscar," said
Harry, earnestly.
"Why shouldn't I be kind to my friend?"
"Even if he was once a printer's devil."
"Very true. It is a great objection, but still I will overlook it.
By the way, there is one inducement I didn't mention."
"What is that?"
"We may very likely see Fitz in the city. He is studying at home now, I hear. Who knows but he may get up a great party in your honor?"
"Do you think it likely?" asked Harry, smiling.
"It might not happen to occur to him, I admit. Still, if we made him a ceremonious call—"
"I am afraid he might send word that he was not at home."
