“Crail Hall nothing! It would be Morris, of course. I guess if they got busy they could have it ready for next fall, eh? Sure, I mean it, if they’ll let me.”
“Oh, they’ll let you, all right,” laughed Leon. “I reckon if you put it up to Charley he would fall on your neck. Maybe he’d let you off probation, too!”
“Then I won’t say anything about it,” said Monty, with a scowl. “I don’t want to buy myself off, you silly ass.”
“Well, don’t get mad about it. Say, Mr. Rumford’s going to come over to see you this afternoon. If I were you I’d be nice and polite to him, Monty. He’s not a bad sort——”
“He needn’t,” said Monty grumpily. “Going?”
“Got to. Jimmy and Dud will be around some time. I’ll drop in again after last hour, too. They say you’ve got to stay here until tomorrow. Then you’re coming over to Trow. I’m awfully glad, Monty.”
“It’s decent of you and Granger,” Monty grinned. “I won’t call him a spider again.”
“He wouldn’t mind,” replied Leon. “Besides, he’s caught his fly now.”
“Fly?” questioned Monty.
