"Won't that increase his suspicions?"
"I can't help it."
"Very well."
Ben went below; but thought he might as well put off the interview. It was not till afternoon that Mr. Campbell met him again.
"Did you deliver my card, boy?" he asked.
"My name is Benjamin," returned our hero, who did not fancy the manner of address.
"Very well. Did you deliver my card, Benjamin?"
"Yes, sir."
"What did your cousin say?"
"That she knew no gentleman or family of your name."
