“Have you yet found any one to fill the place of which you spoke to me, Mr. Morgan?”
“I have not, my young friend. It is a more difficult task than I anticipated, and sometimes I think I will relinquish the plan altogether.”
“I am so glad I am not too late,” exclaimed Herbert joyfully. “I have come to tell you, sir, that what I related to you of William Camden can all be explained, and I am quite sure that he would suit you in every respect.”
He then gave Mr. Morgan a full account of the whole affair, to which the gentleman listened with much satisfaction, and declared his intention of calling upon Mrs. Camden that evening.
“This will be a warning to you, my dear boy,” he said to Herbert, “to judge less rashly of the actions of your friends.”
“It will indeed, sir,” was the reply. “I have too often disregarded these warnings; but in future I am resolved never to forget that there may be ‘two sides to a story.’”
