Jack's Ward

Horatio Alger

Capitolo 16


Jack virilely spoke;  but the fact was that probably the other boy was
able, being three years older, and as many thumbs taller.

Jack kept on crying his/her papers and his/her opponent, exasperated to the
the disdainful carelessness of his/her threats, advanced verse him, and, taking
Jack unawares, the sidewalk pushed away it with such violence that him
almost demolishes apartment. Jack felt that the time for action you/he/she had arrived. Him
allowed to temporarily fall his/her papers on the sidewalk, and, lowering his/her head,
made to fit against his/her young enemy with such strength whether to double him/it on, and
do him/it sit, while troubling, on the sidewalk. Tom Rafferty, for this
it was his/her name, it looked above in amazement at the unexpected form of the
attack.

"Well fact, my young fellow!" says a cordial voice.

Jack turned toward the orator, and you/he/she that a strong man has dressed in a blue
dresses again with brass buttons. He was dark and of bronze with exposure to the
proud, and there was anything around him what it clearly pointed out the
sailor.

"Well fact, my young fellow!" he repeated. "You know whether to pay Your debts."

"I try, said Jack, modestly. "But where are my papers?"

The papers that he had allowed to fall, had disappeared. One of the boys that
you/he/she had seen the altercation you/he/she had gathered the occasion to do away with them,
and poor Jack was in the position of a dealer that had lost his/her escort
in work.

"Who picked them up it carpets?" he asked, while looking around him.

"I saw a boy escaped with them", says a spectator.

"I am happy of it.

Jack looked as if he were ready to tar again in him but the sailor
interfered.

"You don't mind the papers my young fellow. What value were you/they?"

"I gave winds cents for 'the em."

"Then here thirty."

"I don't think that I should pick him/it up", said Jack. "It is my loss."

"Pick up him my boy. It won't ruin me. I have the more abundance it departs back."

"Thanks, gentleman;  I will go and I will buy some more papers."

"Not to-night. I want you to take a cruise with me."
