The result was that the next afternoon Rodney was summoned to the office. "Sit down Ropes," said the superintendent. "For what store did you work before you came into our house?" "Otis Goodnow's." "Under what circumstances did you leave?" "I was accused of theft." "You did not mention this matter when you applied for a situation here." "No, sir.
"When shall I get another?" Rodney set himself to work searching for a new situation. But wherever he called he found Some one ahead of him. At length he saw an advertisement for an entry clerk in a wholesale house in Church Street. He applied and had the good fortune to please the superintendent. "Where have you worked before?" he asked. "At Otis Goodnow's, on Reade Street."
"You may send Ropes to me," he said, "Mr. Redwood, and you will please come with him. We will investigate this matter at once." "Very well, sir." Rodney entered Mr. Goodnow's office without a suspicion of the serious accusation which had been made against him. The first hint that there was anything wrong came to him when he saw the stern look in the merchants eyes. "Perhaps," said Mr.
I ought perhaps to have done so, but I presumed in that case you would not have given me a place." "You are right he would not." "Nor would I have applied had the charge been a true one. Articles were certainly missing from Mr. Goodnow's stock, but in accusing me they did me a great injustice." "How long since you left Mr. Goodnow's?" "Four months." "What have you been doing since?"
Dr. Goodnow's method is simplicity itself. In order to prove the superiority of Monarchism over Republicanism and thus deliberately ignoring the moral of the present cataclysmic war he ransacks the dust-laden centuries.
About the middle of the afternoon, as Rodney was helping to unpack a crate of goods, the older boy whom he had already seen in the office below, walked up to him and said, "Is your name Ropes?" "Yes." "You are wanted in Mr. Goodnow's office." Rodney went down stairs, feeling a little nervous. Had he done wrong, and was he to be reprimanded? He could think of nothing deserving censure.
Goodnow's advice to secure as far as possible that the various classes of the community should be specially represented: and provision was therefore made in the voting for the inclusion of "learned scholars," Chambers of Commerce, and "oversea merchants," whose votes were to be directly recorded by their special delegates.
Goodnow, as he leaned back in his chair and fixed his gaze on the young clerk, "you may have an idea why I have sent for you." "No, sir," answered Rodney, looking puzzled. "You can't think of any reason I may have for wishing to see you?" "No, sir," and Rodney returned Mr. Goodnow's gaze with honest unfaltering eyes.
