“What kind of a suit would you like?” he added.
“A pretty good one,” answered Robert.
He was shown several suits and finally selected one of gray mixed cloth of excellent quality.
“That is one of our most expensive suits,” said Conway doubtfully.
“Will it wear well?”
“It will wear like iron.”
“Then I will take it. How much will it cost?”
Conway named the price. Robert would have hesitated about paying so much, but that he was acting under instructions from the hermit.
“Shall we send it to you anywhere?” asked Mr. Conway, a little surprised at Robert’s readiness to pay so high a price.
“No, I should like to put it on here.”
