An excellent idea of yours, Hutchens. I'm no end obliged to you. 'But, Mr. Arncliffe, I really 'Right you are! I'll see you later about that last forme question. Look in in about an hour, will you?
A friendly lead, you know, from "An Old Reader," or "Paterfamilias," to keep 'em to their muttons. You'll see. 'And where can I work? I asked. 'Ah, to be sure. Yes. You want a room. Come with me now. I'll introduce you to Hutchens, the manager, and he'll fix you up. Mr. Hutchens proved to be a miracle of correctness.
