“I want to see him if you are not going to pay me.”
“Haven’t I told you that I should take great pleasure in paying you, if I owe you anything. It had slipped my mind that I owed you’ a bill, though now it comes to me that there is a small balance due you.”
“A small balance! You owe me sixty-two dollars!”
“Well, I call that a small balance. In the bank we deal in big figures. How long have I owed you sixty-two dollars, Mr. Shaytop?”
“About six months.”
“Exactly so! Have you added interest?”
“No. I shall be glad enough to get the bill, without saying anything about the interest.”
“If I forgot this little matter, it is not right that you should lose anything by my neglect. Add the interest to your bill, and I will pay it.”
“That’s what you said every time I asked you for the money—all but the interest.”
