"How have you succeeded, Scott?" asked the earl, when they met at the Mansion House.
Scott told him.
"How much will your purchases amount to, Scott?"
"Probably to eighty thousand dollars."
"It is wonderful. And you are only seventeen years old!"
"I believe so," said Scott, smiling.
"I am not sure but it would be for my advantage to go into business with you."
"What shall be the style of the firm? The Earl of Windermere & Co.?"
"We will consider that. When do you propose to return to New York?"
"This evening."
