“Did you make as much there?”
“I made between sixty and seventy dollars over and above expenses.”
“You don’t expect me to believe that!” said the squire.
“I don’t care whether you believe it or not; it’s true.”
“Have you got the money with you?”
“Yes.”
“Then you’d better give it to me to keep for you.”
“Thank you; I feel capable of taking care of it myself.”
“But it’s improper for a boy of your age to carry round so much money,” said the squire sharply.
“If I need help to take care of it, I will ask Mr. Dunbar.”
