"Yes; they are getting shabby."
"You ought to have a new pair."
"Yes; but I don't like to speak to Mr. Little."
"You need feel no hesitation. He has fifty dollars of yours, you told me."
"Forty dollars."
"Enough, at any rate, to provide you with new clothes. Your coat is beginning to show signs of wear."
"Yes; I am as careful of it as possible, but it will wear."
"Take my advice and ask Mr. Little at once to give you some new clothes."
"I will if you advise it."
