"Your father says, his second son — What was the name of the other?"

"William, sir."

"William what?"

"Landholm."

"William Landholm — yes, I recollect — I couldn't make out exactly whether it was Sandball or Lardner — Mr. Landholm — Where is your brother now, sir?"

"He is at Little River, sir, going on with his studies."

"He made very good progress — very good indeed — he's a young man of talent, your brother. He's a smart fellow. He's going on to fit himself to enter college, ain't he?"

"Yes sir."

"He'll do well — he can do what he's a mind. Well, Mr.
Landholm — what are you going to turn your hand to?"
