СКАЧАТЬ let me give you something."

      "No, Bob, you are my friend, and it would be a pity if I couldn't do you a favor without getting paid for it."

      "But this is a great favor. It is worth a hundred and fifty dollars. Without it we might, and probable would, have to pay the interest money over again. Now, when your uncle calls for it, we shall only have to show him the receipt."

      "He'll wonder where it came from."

      "I hope it won't get you into trouble, Sam."

      "He won't suspect me. He'll know I couldn't break into his desk, and he won't know anything about having dropped it on the floor. I don't see how he came to be so careless."

      "Depend upon it, Sam, it was the work of Providence. Mother says that God often overrules the designs of the wicked, and I think this is an instance. Henceforth, Sam, though you are old Wolverton's nephew, I shall consider you a friend of our family. Why can't you stay to supper to-night?"

      "It would never do, Bob, unless I asked permission."

      "Then ask permission."

      "I am afraid it wouldn't be granted."

      "If your uncle is as mean as I think he is, he would be glad for you to get a meal at the expense of somebody else."

      "He wouldn't like to have me enjoy myself," said Sam.

      "Is he so mean as that?"

      "Whenever he hears me singing, he looks mad, and wants to know why I am making a fool of myself."

      "He's an uncle to be proud of," said Bob, ironically.

      "I just wish I could live at your house, Bob."
