"We'll take the room," said Dick, promptly. "When do you wish to commence?" "To-day. We'll come this evening." "Very well. I suppose you can furnish me with references. You're in business, I suppose?" "I am in Henderson's hat and cap store, No. Broadway," said Henry Fosdick.

At three o'clock this was obscured by a reappearance of Henderson's advertisement, which was the cause of Uncle Jake being too late to catch that evening's train with a load of oranges he had been set to pack. At the risk of leaving the milking late, Andrew was setting out to once more eclipse this by Walker's poster, only that grandma adjudicated regarding the matter.
Aunt Henderson wondered greatly what sudden whim or inward purpose had brought her grandniece hither. When Faith absolutely declined any more tea or cake, Miss Henderson's tap on the table leaf brought in Glory McWhirk.
