“And maltreated, also, I presume,” said the nephew. “When did you arrive in New York?”
“Last Thursday, sir.”
“Did you leave my uncle well?”
“He looked in excellent health.”
“How long do you remain in the city? What are your plans?”
“We think of leaving to-morrow. We wish to see friends from whom we have long been parted.”
“My uncle wishes me to offer you a position in my establishment, Mr. Vane. If that will meet your views, I shall be happy to receive you.”
“I should like nothing better, sir,” replied Harry, his eyes sparkling.
“Will fifteen dollars a week satisfy you to begin with.”
