“It depends altogether on the state of the market. If things are dull, he will very likely meet me out here. If the Street is brisk, I won’t see him till he arrives home to-night. If medium, he will be on the wharf when we get in.”

“Oh, certainly. It will be the second thing I ask him.”
“When you know, I want you to tell me. Will you?”
“Are you interested in knowing?”
