"Yes, Loammi."
"I will join you if you don't mind."
"Certainly. I shall be glad to have your company."
"Have you called on Mr. Lawton lately?"
"No; he is out of town just now. I think he has gone to Philadelphia."
"Has he got a place?"
"He is doing something, but I don't know what it is. He doesn't seem to say much about his affairs."
"I hope he won't spend all his money."
"So do I. He seems to be generous, even beyond his means."
