“The boy little thinks that I have known many a time what it is to be without breakfast, or money to buy any,” thought Tony. “I’ll do something for the poor man, if only to show how grateful I am for my own good fortune.”
He followed the boy for about ten minutes, until they reached rather a shabby building. This was No. 7.
Come right up after me,” said the boy.
The two went up till they reached the room indicated by Rudolph. The boy pushed the door open.
A sound of groaning proceeded from the bed.
Grandfather, I’ve brought a kind young gentleman,” said the boy.
Come here,” muttered the person in bed.
Tony came up to the bed.
In an instant Rudolph had thrown off the clothes, and had him seized by the arm.
