He was a pleasant-spoken, very ignorant, smiling, jocose man, with a slightly Jewish accent, who knew his business well, pursued it diligently, and considered himself to have a clear conscience.
"That's so, Jack," responded the young man, "and if you can recommend me, I want you to help me to a job for a week or two then I'm off to town."
