"Yes; and I acquired it in that way."
"You know where Blanche lives?"
"Yes."
"And visit her sometimes?"
"Occasionally."
"Can I accompany you there some evening, sir? I would like to know her better."
"To be sure you may, Guly; especially, as you are henceforth to be somewhat associated in the business line. As I have told you, Blanche is a noble little girl; I respect her highly; very few know where she lives, and I wouldn't take every one there. You understand?"
"Certainly. I shan't name her residence to any one."
"Very well, then; whenever you say—you alone, remember."
