"Oh, ah! in that case I'll go in and see." James threw the door open. Old Mr. Bowdoin was standing, still puffing, in front of the fire, evidently quite breathless.

At last, when night came and it was time to close the office, Risler summoned courage to go and speak to him. "Planus, my old friend, I should like " He hesitated a moment.
