Capitolo 15
"What will I pay you?"
"Yes, desire you pay me ten dollars for week--the same as me I got to
Hanbury & Deane?"
"Ten dollars for week!" Exclaimed Ebenezer, "I don't find some more
what that me."
"I guess there is a small error in Your calculations, father,"
Said Eben, meaningfully. "If you don't do at least forty dollars
a week, included then the postal office I am wrong me."
"Then you are--him been ridiculously wrong!" says his/her father, brusquely. "Thing
You suppose it is completely out of the question. You forgetful that You
it will find Your axle, and Tom Tripp only received a dollar and
a half a week without axle."
"Is it that everybody that You pay to Herbert Carr?"
"I pay him/it more" a leetle, admitted Ebenezer.
"What will it give me?"
"I will give him Your axle and suits", said Ebenezer "and that
it seems to be more than you did in Boston."
"Is it in deposit?" Asked Eben, in genuine dismay.
"Certainly. It is not a bad offer, or."
"Does it imagine a youth as me you/he/she can get along without money?"
"You should get long without money for the next two years, later
the sums that you have wasted in Boston. It will cripple me to pay Your
accounts", and the merchant groaned to the thought of the raids
the payment would do on its bank account.
"You are more poor man of me, if seventy-five dollars will cripple
You", it said Eben that he/she knew too well the circumstances of his/her father to be
him moved by this representation.
"I will witness in the poorhouse many years if I undertake to pay
all of Your accounts, Eben."
Later everything, this was not, perhaps, an exaggeration, for a spender
child can get through many money.
"I cannot get long without money, son-in-laws", it said Eben, clearly.
"How can I buy cigars, face the other things alone?"
"I don't want that You smokes cigars. You will be better a great quantity street
without them", says his/her father, brusquely.
"I understand; it is necessary to my health", said Eben, rather
absurdly.
"You won't smoke to my expense", said Ebenezer, clearly. "I don't do
you are smoked, and I never knew any good person comes of him."
