It
is
n't
my
idea
of
a
salary
at
all
.
But
I
got
in
this
because
I
did
n't
have
a
chance
to
study
any
particular
work
or
get
in
with
some
company
where
there
was
a
real
chance
to
work
up
and
make
something
of
myself
.
My
mother
wanted
me
to
write
you
once
and
ask
whether
there
was
any
chance
in
your
company
for
me
to
begin
and
work
up
,
but
I
was
afraid
maybe
that
you
might
not
like
that
exactly
,
and
so
I
never
did
.
"
He
paused
,
smiling
,
and
yet
with
an
inquiring
look
in
his
eye
.
His
uncle
looked
solemnly
at
him
for
a
moment
,
pleased
by
his
looks
and
his
general
manner
of
approach
in
this
instance
,
and
then
replied
:
"
Well
,
that
is
very
interesting
.
You
should
have
written
,
if
you
wanted
to
--
"
Then
,
as
was
his
custom
in
all
matters
,
he
cautiously
paused
.
Clyde
noted
that
he
was
hesitating
to
encourage
him
.
"
I
do
n't
suppose
there
is
anything
in
your
company
that
you
would
let
me
do
?
"
he
ventured
boldly
,
after
a
moment
.
Samuel
Griffiths
merely
stared
at
him
thoughtfully
.
He
liked
and
he
did
not
like
this
direct
request
.
However
,
Clyde
appeared
at
least
a
very
adaptable
person
for
the
purpose
.
He
seemed
bright
and
ambitious
--
so
much
like
his
own
son
,
and
he
might
readily
fit
into
some
department
as
head
or
assistant
under
his
son
,
once
he
had
acquired
a
knowledge
of
the
various
manufacturing
processes
.
At
any
rate
he
might
let
him
try
it
.
There
could
be
no
real
harm
in
that
.
Besides
,
there
was
his
younger
brother
,
to
whom
,
perhaps
,
both
he
and
his
older
brother
Allen
owed
some
form
of
obligation
,
if
not
exactly
restitution
.
"
Well
,
"
he
said
,
after
a
moment
,
"
that
is
something
I
would
have
to
think
over
a
little
.
I
would
n't
be
able
to
say
,
offhand
,
whether
there
is
or
not
.
We
would
n't
be
able
to
pay
you
as
much
as
you
make
here
to
begin
with
,
"
he
warned
.
"
Oh
,
that
's
all
right
,
"
exclaimed
Clyde
,
who
was
far
more
fascinated
by
the
thought
of
connecting
himself
with
his
uncle
than
anything
else
.
"
I
would
n't
expect
very
much
until
I
was
able
to
earn
it
,
of
course
.
"
"
Besides
,
it
might
be
that
you
would
find
that
you
did
n't
like
the
collar
business
once
you
got
into
it
,
or
we
might
find
we
did
n't
like
you
.
Not
every
one
is
suited
to
it
by
a
long
way
.
"
"
Well
,
all
you
'd
have
to
do
then
would
be
to
discharge
me
,
"
assured
Clyde
.
"
I
've
always
thought
I
would
be
,
though
,
ever
since
I
heard
of
you
and
your
big
company
.
"
