"Hallo, Tom!" he replied, rather coolly.
"Been waiting for you this half hour."
"Have you?"
"Yes; ain't you rather late?"
"No; I have plenty of time, though none to spare," answered Bobby; and this was a hint that he must not detain him too long.
"Come along then."
"Where are you going, Tom?" asked Bobby, a little surprised at these words.
"To Boston."
"Are you?"
"I am; that's a fact. You know I spoke to you about going into the book business."
