“Well, I am taking a little rest from my labors,” said Walter.
“You were up rather late last evening, Mr. Sherwood.”
“That's a fact, and you gave us a first-class supper, Daniels. You did yourself proud.”
“I did my best, Mr. Sherwood, and I am glad you were satisfied.”
“All the fellows praised the supper.”
“That's good. I know what you young gentlemen like, and I get it, no matter what it costs. I don't make much on the suppers I give the college boys, but of course I like to please them.”
“Your price is quite reasonable, I think.”
“I am glad you do. I have brought in the bill for last night's entertainment, and if you can let me have the money, I shall be glad.”
“Well, the fact is, Daniels, I haven't got the money by me this morning.”
The landlord's countenance changed.
