Scott smiled.
"I have some influence with the firm of Tower, Douglas & Co. I think they will take you on at my request. But where do you live, and what is your name?"
"I live at 940 Bleecker Street, and my name is Harold Kent."

"He is my father."
"He is an Englishman, is he not?"
"Yes; do you know him?"
"Not yet, but I mean to. If you are going home, take me with you."
"I shall be glad to do so, but may I ask your name?"
