"I am not surprised to hear it," he said. "Loammi reminds me of his father very strongly."
"He looks upon me as a poor relation," continued Scott, smiling.
"Do you mind that much?"
"A little. I don't mean to be poor always."
"A wise determination. So you have a place in the store?"
"Yes, sir."
"How do you like that?"
"Very much. I like business. I don't have much to do with Mr. Little there, but the superintendent, Mr. Allen, is just, and encourages me to do my best."
"I am glad to hear that. Do you think Ezra is prosperous?"
"I should think so. He seems to be doing a good business."
