But come, will you mend this poor thimble of mine?" "Anything for your sake, Annie," said Owen Warland, "anything, even were it to work at Robert Danforth's forge." "And that would be a pretty sight!" retorted Annie, glancing with imperceptible slightness at the artist's small and slender frame. "Well; here is the thimble."
"Here she is! Let her come out and answer for herself." Francis Ryan turned, and Lily, shy and trembling, went out in obedience to Mr. Danforth's call.
However, he was bound in courtesy to call, since he did so at the request of Mrs. Danforth. It was a large stone building, divided up into offices, to which Paul had been directed. Mr. Danforth's office he found after a little search, upon the second floor. He opened the door with a little embarrassment, and looked about him.
Two years passed, unmarked by any incident of importance. Paul continued in Mr. Danforth's employment, giving, if possible, increased satisfaction. He was not only faithful, but exhibited a rare aptitude for business, which made his services of great value to his employer. From time to time Mr.
At first, when transferred from Robert Danforth's hand to the small finger of the child, this radiance grew so powerful that it positively threw the little fellow's shadow back against the wall. He, meanwhile, extended his plump hand as he had seen his father and mother do, and watched the waving of the insect's wings with infantine delight.

"I really wonder at Mr. Danforth's bad taste. There are many boys of genteel family, who would have been glad of the chance. This boy is a low fellow of course." "Certainly," said her son, though he was quite aware that this was not true. "What could have brought the boy to Danforth's notice?" asked Dawkins, senior. "I don't know, I'm sure. The boy has managed to get round him in some way.
"Dawkins, did you observe whether Paul remained long in the office?" he asked. "Longer than sufficient to lay the letters on the desk?" "Yes, sir, I think he did." "Did you notice whether he went to his overcoat after coming out?" "Yes, sir, he did," said Dawkins, anxious to fix in Mr. Danforth's mind the impression of Paul's guilt. "Then I am afraid it is true," said his employer sadly.
