"I think I must be getting back to my new home," said Scott. "Thank you very much for your kindness to me."
"You have given me a pleasant day, Scott," replied the young man, genially. "Call and see me again when you have time."
"Thank you, sir."
When Scott reached the house in West Forty-seventh Street, he found Loammi already there. He had returned from school at about half-past two, and wondered what had become of his new-found cousin.
"Where have you been?" he asked, abruptly.
"First, I went to Central Park, and afterward I went to Staten Island."
Loammi looked surprised.
"What could take you to Staten Island? You seem to have plenty of money to go about with."
"It didn't cost me anything."
