In this employment he remained four years, and then, although very happily situated, he made up his mind to return to London to push his fortune more rapidly. Being large and forward for his age, a handsome, prompt, active, engaging youth, he soon obtained a situation in a dry-goods store on old London Bridge, at a salary of twenty-five pounds a year and his board.
My persuasion will be suggestive rather than mandatory." "And that hero from the Brooklyn dry-goods shop?" I asked, with a smile.

"Well, I've been earning a fair salary, but it's very expensive living in a great city like New York." "Humph! that's accordin' as you manage. If you live snug, you can get along there cheap as well as anywhere, I reckon. What was you doin'?" "I was a salesman for A. T. Stewart, our leading dry-goods merchant." "What pay did you get?"

She is a conscientious student, in spite of her pranks, and I cannot endure the thought of her going into a dry-goods store as a clerk," Katherine replied.
Charles F. Hovey, the wealthy Boston dry-goods merchant, listened attentively to every word, and in the years that followed became a generous contributor to the cause. Realizing how very tired she was and that she must feel more physically fit before continuing her work, Susan decided to take the water cure at her cousin Seth Rogers' Hydropathic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts.
