"Well, what do you think of the plan?"
"I should say that it is practicable, although the suggestion is entirely new to me. Could we get work at our business?"
"I took it for granted that we could," replied Wygate. "I have no more means of knowing than you have."
"I should take it for granted that we could, too," said Benjamin; "still I shall want to consider it; it is quite an enterprise to undertake."
"Somewhat of a scheme; but a very interesting and instructive one if successfully prosecuted."
"That is so, and I think favorably of it. I will consult my good friend, Denham, about it. He has seen more of the world than we have."
Benjamin was evidently favorably impressed with the proposition; for he embraced the first opportunity to lay the subject before Mr. Denham.
"It does not strike me favorably," said Mr. Denham.
"We could both see and learn a great deal," remarked Benjamin.
"That is true; but other things are to be considered, which are of equal importance. What might do for Wygate, whose home is here, might not do for you, whose home is in America."
