Then Loammi told the story.
"I asked him how much he had, and he wouldn't tell me. It seems to me he ought to have handed it to you."
In this Mr. Little agreed with his son.
"Call Scott," said he.
Scott was in his small chamber, and there Loammi found him.
"Pa wants to see you, Scott."
Scott went downstairs and into Mr. Little's presence.
"Do you wish to see me, sir?"
"Yes. Loammi tells me you have some money."
"Yes; I have a little money."
