"You need not be apprehensive on that score. At what time do you go out to lunch?"
"At twelve o'clock."
"I will call at that time to-morrow, and we will manage to get time to stop at a tailor's and leave your measure."
"But, Cousin Seth, a ready-made suit will answer."
"As this is the first present I have given you, I will make it a good one. Probably we can find a tailor near your store."
"Yes; Mr. Little's tailor has a shop only three blocks away. Here is his card."
"The very thing."
When the suit was finished Scott put it on at once, and left his old one to be cleaned and repaired.
It was hardly to be supposed that it would escape the observation of Loammi and his father. As a matter of fact, it was handsomer than any his cousin wore.
"Where did you get that suit?" asked Loammi, in amazement.
