"Clever men, you trainers," said Carl.
"Some of them," said Sam, with a wink at Abel.
"No doubt about Mr. Skane's being one of the clever men," said Carl.
"Don't know so much about that; I've been done more than once," said
Fred.
"Shouldn't have thought it," said Carl. "The man who did you must have got up very early in the morning."
"Going out to-night again?" asked Abel.
"Yes, walking; I have a little business on hand that concerns my happiness," said Carl.
"Sounds a bit like courting," said Sam.
"You're not far out," was Carl's reply. "I'm thinking of getting married," he added as he left the room.
"Who's the girl?" asked Sam.
