Well
,
we
'll
make
it
five
hundred
.
That
fellow
would
n't
make
a
bad
partner
in
this
business
some
day
.
He
has
the
real
knack
for
it
.
You
see
that
he
gets
the
five
hundred
dollars
with
a
word
from
both
of
us
.
"
So
the
night
before
Christmas
,
as
Cowperwood
was
looking
over
some
way-bills
and
certificates
of
consignment
preparatory
to
leaving
all
in
order
for
the
intervening
holiday
,
George
Waterman
came
to
his
desk
.
"
Hard
at
it
,
"
he
said
,
standing
under
the
flaring
gaslight
and
looking
at
his
brisk
employee
with
great
satisfaction
.
It
was
early
evening
,
and
the
snow
was
making
a
speckled
pattern
through
the
windows
in
front
.
"
Just
a
few
points
before
I
wind
up
,
"
smiled
Cowperwood
.
"
My
brother
and
I
have
been
especially
pleased
with
the
way
you
have
handled
the
work
here
during
the
past
six
months
.
We
wanted
to
make
some
acknowledgment
,
and
we
thought
about
five
hundred
dollars
would
be
right
.
Beginning
January
first
we
'll
give
you
a
regular
salary
of
thirty
dollars
a
week
.
"
"
I
'm
certainly
much
obliged
to
you
,
"
said
Frank
.
"
I
did
n't
expect
that
much
.
It
's
a
good
deal
.
I
've
learned
considerable
here
that
I
'm
glad
to
know
.
"
"
Oh
,
do
n't
mention
it
.
We
know
you
've
earned
it
.
You
can
stay
with
us
as
long
as
you
like
.
We
're
glad
to
have
you
with
us
.
"
Cowperwood
smiled
his
hearty
,
genial
smile
.
He
was
feeling
very
comfortable
under
this
evidence
of
approval
.
He
looked
bright
and
cheery
in
his
well-made
clothes
of
English
tweed
.
On
the
way
home
that
evening
he
speculated
as
to
the
nature
of
this
business
.
He
knew
he
was
n't
going
to
stay
there
long
,
even
in
spite
of
this
gift
and
promise
of
salary
.
