How does Conrad's compare with yours?" "I should hardly know how to choose between them. His boat is a fine one, but mine is quite as good." "And I suppose there is no other on the pond as fine." "No; Serwin's boats are old style, and have been in use for years. If you rowed in one of those against Conrad you would be sure to be beaten." "Then if I win I shall be indebted to you for the victory."
He had been disappointed to find that Valentine would not row, but he was quite as well pleased at the prospect of beating Andy. He was rather surprised, however, as he had never heard that Andy could row. "He must be a fool to think of rowing against me," he said to himself. Next came Jimmy Morris, who took his place in one of Serwin's boats.
"Jimmy Morris is a pretty good rower, but he has no boat of his own, and would have to row in one of Serwin's boats. You know what they are." "He couldn't come up to me, no matter in what boat he rowed," said Conrad. "Well, perhaps not; I don't know." "Well, you ought to know, John Larkin." "My opinion's my own, Conrad," said John, manfully. "All the same, you are mistaken."
