But his eye was none the less clear and his voice none the less steady as he turned to Don Caesar. "You know perfectly the contents of that letter?" "I have kept a copy of it." "Come with me." He preceded his visitor down the staircase and back into his private office. Slinn looked up at his employer's face in unrestrained anxiety.
Perhaps Dr. Taylor himself offers the best possible example of the value of Settlement experience to public undertakings, in his manifold public activities of which one might instance his work at the moment upon a commission recently appointed by the governor of Illinois to report upon the best method of Industrial Insurance or Employer's Liability Acts, and his influence in securing another to study into the subject of Industrial Diseases.
Influenced by the impression I had received of his gentleness, I was a good deal surprised when, on arriving the next day at my new employer's house, and being admitted to a first view of what was to be the sphere of my future labours, namely the large, lofty, and well lighted schoolrooms, I beheld a numerous assemblage of pupils, boys of course, whose collective appearance showed all the signs of a full, flourishing, and well-disciplined seminary.
There was some doubt expressed by the stage men as to their size and weight, when my employer invited them to the outskirts of the grove, where he would show them a sample in our ambulance team. So he led them away, and I saw that the time had come to play to my employer's lead. The music striking up, I claimed Esther for the first dance, leaving Mrs.
His indignation at his employer's imperturbability was becoming as pronounced as Miss Lacey's. "I ought to have gone," continued Judge Trent.

In an hotel at Lyons he had watched a valet packing just such an object with the remainder of his employer's luggage, and was told, on inquiry, that it contained foils. But why foils? ... at four o'clock in the morning? ... in a country where men might still requite an outrage by an appeal to the law of the jungle?
But, like your mother, I don't approve of young men betting I know what it means." He was thinking, with bitterness, of his own youthful indiscretions. "If you go, don't bet. You might be tempted, naturally, to back your father's mare Lucretia, but you would stand a very good chance of losing." "Don't you think she'll win, sir?" Alan asked, emboldened by his employer's freedom of speech.

After living all my life on public charity, I was able to give in my turn; and this thought gratified my pride, and increased my importance in my own eyes.
About a month afterward, Jacob met his employer's nephew, who said, "I am going into business." "You are?" "Yes." "What are you going to do?" "Open a commission store." "Ah! Can you get any good consignments?" "I am to have the agency for a new mill, which has just commenced operations, besides consignments of goods from several small concerns at the East." "You will have to make advances."
