“You don’t like it, then?”
“Not much. I don’t see how anybody could ever talk such stuff.”
“You will be more interested in it as you get on further. That was the way with me. I wasn’t in love with it at first.”
“I hope so,” said Fred.
Here Mr. Vivian entered, and greeted Gilbert cordially.
“I told Laura to keep you,” he said. “What have you been doing since we met?”
“I have got a place, or rather Mr. Briggs got one for me.”
“What sort of a place?”
“I am with Mr. Sands, a stock-broker. His office is on Wall Street.”
“I know of him, though I don’t personally know him. How do you like your new situation?”
