"I don't like him," Verty said, "he does not seem to be sincere, and I think he is not a gentleman. But, I forget, sir; you asked me if there was any news.

You obtained money from his mother under the pretence that you were going to teach him a trade but for the last twelve months you have been using him as if he were a beast of burden. I advise you to see to it or I shall find means to make you wish you had done so.
