"No, I wouldn't."
"Not if I stayed a month?"
"Will you, really?" asked Arthur, his pale face brightening up with evident pleasure.
"He shall stay if you would like to have him," said his brother, "and study with you every day. I think Prof. Taylor will be willing to take one additional pupil."
"Will he live here in this house?" asked Arthur, with animation.
"Certainly,"
"Then I shan't feel lonely any more," said Arthur. "I've been wanting company."
"I am sorry to say Sam's studies have been neglected, and he may require some assistance in getting his lessons."
"I'll help him," said Arthur, eagerly.
So it was arranged, and so it was that Sam; after drifting about for years, found at last a good home.
