“That is certainly a fair value for the money. Can you deliver the books to my residence in Newark?”
“Certainly.”
“Then I will take a set in half-calf. When will I get them?”
“I’ll send in the order to-night. The books ought to come by the day after to-morrow.”
“All right. And how do you want your pay?”
“You can pay when you get the books, Mr. Begoin,” answered Frank. He knew the lawyer would not wish to pay in installments, and so said nothing on that point.
“Very well, I’ll make note of it,” said Robert Begoin, and put it down in a little vest-pocket blank book he carried.
“I am very much obliged to you for the order,” went on Frank, as he packed up his books once more, and took the lawyer’s home address. “Those are the kind of orders I like to get.”
“I hope selling books pays you, Frank.”
“I don’t know how much it will pay me yet. This is my first day at it.”
