Excerpt from Richard Vaughn
Do you known them?"
"I think I have heard of old man Lemon. I don"t just remember what I have heard, but it was either that he was very religious or a great rascal; I am not sure which; perhaps it was both."
"I hope not, I am sure, though he is inclined to be religious, for one of the first things he asked me was if I loved the Lord."
"I will bet he is an old hypocrite."
"Don"t say that, my friend, for it is much nicer to think the best of people instead of the worst. Besides, I am to work for him, and I don"t want any one to try and prejudice me against him."
"That"s all right, Frank; I see you mean to be loyal, and I am sure that is best, but you have asked me nothing about myself."
"The fact is you have not given me much chance, but I am all ears."
"Thanks awfully; I had noticed your ears. Well, I am a clerk in the Metro bank, and although I draw quite a small salary, I try hard to make myself think that I am of some importance. But there is the supper bell; let"s go down." The two young men went down to supper, and Frank was given a seat at the same table and opposite his room mate.
Mrs. Sargent"s was a large boarding-house, one of the largest in Boston, and Mrs. Sargent was a character. She was born and raised up in New Hampshire, and had early learned to be a good housekeeper.
