"I used to room with him in New York. He is a nice boy, Henry is, a good deal better'n me. He used to save his money and put it in the bank, and study evenings."
"And you didn't, I suppose?"
"No. I was a fool; but I won't be any longer. I'm going to turn over a new leaf."
"If you do, I shall not regret having engaged you as a companion for Arthur."
Here Arthur's voice was heard, as he entered the room.
"What are you two talking about?" he inquired.
"I was telling Sam you would miss him when he went away."
"So I shall. Why can't he stay a little longer?"
Arthur had not yet been told of the plan for giving him a companion.
"You would get tired of me," said Sam.
