“Oh, you called to explain your mistake?”
“I did.”
“Then you admit I paid you three months’ rent in advance?”
“Ah, certainly; ah, certainly; I made a mistake.”
At this moment there came an inquiry from the hall.
“Will you want me, sir?”
“No, officer, you can go, I was about to have this man arrested.”
The landlord stared; he had not seen an officer when he entered the room, and he commenced to make all manner of apologies, and old Andro said:
“I am going away for a few weeks, and I trust this mistake won’t occur again.”
