"Yes, so far as we know."
"And still your father found him unsatisfactory. There must have been some cause of complaint?"
"He was impudent," said Julian. "He felt too large for his position."
"Was he impudent to your father?"
"No."
"To whom, then?"
"To me."
"Oh, to you. Were you employed in the store?"
"No, sir."
