Capitolo 52
ME? If that ticket draws a prize--"
And then Eben went to the calculations of that that he would do if only him
drawn a prize of thousand dollars. That was not too much to wait him,
for it was a lot there of that amount, and very notably
greater. He painted as independent you/he/she would have been with his/her prize him, and
as he would tell his/her father that he could get along without him,
exposing a great roll of accounts to the same duration. When he arrived
California that he could buy an interest in a mine, and perhaps among
three or four years he could return to twenty times house rich as his
father. It was pleasant to think on all this, and almost to
persuades him that indeed good luck had come. However, him
it has to wait for some days, for the ticket anchor and the you/he/she had not come
lottery would not be drawn for a week.
The ticket arrived two days later; Eben took desires to slip the
envelope in his/her pocket without doing his/her father or whoever other
see him/it, for it is probable that unpleasant questions would have been asked as to where
he found the money that you/he/she has paid for him, the Mr. Graham that he/she knows well a lot that
his/her child didn't have five dollars from him.
For some days Eben has to remain in Wayneboro, until the lottery it was
drawn. If he were unlucky, he should consider some other plan
to pick up money to get away from Wayneboro.
It was not up to the day after the test and his/her triumphant
absolution, that Herbert saw Eben. He came to the shop to buy some
groceries for his/her mother.
"Good-evening, Herbert", said Eben.
"Eben", said Herbert, coldly "except in the way of business, me
doesn't want to speak to him."
"You don't bear the malevolence on account of that small bargain, does her,
Herbert?" Said Eben, easily.
"That small bargain, as you call him/it, you/he/she would have been a very serious
bargain to me."
"I only did my duty", said Eben.
"Was it Your duty to debit an innocent person with theft?"
"I didn't see who other would have been able to take the things", said Eben.
