Joe's Luck - Always Wide Awake

Horatio Alger

Capitolo 16


"I will walk", said Joe.  "I cannot afford to pay a dollar and a half."

"You cannot walk;  it is too far."

"How is it far?"

"Ten miles, more or less" they answered to the hackman.

"Then I will save fifteen cents a mile", Joe said not very it alarmed,
for him he/she didn't believe the affirmation.

"If you lose Your way, you don't blame me."

Joe made his/her exit of the crowd, and it made a break to the angle of the
next road for reflection.  He finally stopped to an apple and
stand of peanut, and, as a matter of policy, purchased an apple.

"I am from the country", he said, "and I want to find a convenient hotel.
Can you/he/she recommend one to me?"

"Yes", says the dealer of peanut.  "I know about one where they debits a
dollar for day."

"Is that convenient? What do you/they attack St. Nicholas?"

"Two dollars for day."

"One day?" Asked Joe, in amazement.

It is had to remember that this was more than fifty years ago.  Joe is able
has for now the greatest cause be frightened to the prices he/she asked ours
you lodge to the fashion.

"You can be all right to the convenient hotel."

"Where is it?"

The in demand directions were given.  It was the Commercial hotel,
located in a road than in the down-city.

The Commercial hotel, passed away now, or making business under a
changed name, was not an elegant inn.

It was rather dark and rather dark, but Joe didn't observe that
particularly.  He had never seen an excellent hotel and this structure,
four histories that are in height above of the offices, it seemed rather to him
imposing that otherwise.

He walked above to the desk on that it was shed out wide open, the
register of hotel.  Rather an employee that dissipated-looks was standing behind the
to oppose himself/herself/themselves to, while choosing his/her teeth.

"Good morning, gentleman" Joe kindly said.  "Thing you debit to be
here?"

"A dollar for day", he/she answered to the employee.

"Can you/he/she give me a room?"

"I guess so, my child.  Where is Your trunk?"

"I have it didn't find any."
