Capitolo 3
Grant whistled.
Two hundred and sixty-seven dollars seemed to him an immense sum,
and so it was, to a poor minister with a family of three children
and a salary of only six hundred dollars. Whether to get so great a
you possibly add Grant neither his/her mother you/he/she could imagine. Even if
there was whoever to pick him/it up in loan from, there it didn't seem any opportunity to pay
back so considerable a sum.
Mother and child looked at each other in perplexity. Finally, Grant
broken the silence.
"Mother", he said, "a thing seems enough clear. I have to go to work.
I am fifteen years old, well and strong, and I should be earning mine really
living."
"But Your father has put his/her heart on Your going to the university,
Grant."
"And I should like to go, also; but if me it would be first years
I could be anything but an expense and a load, and that would do
me unhappy."
"Is it almost ready for the university, Grant it is not?"
"Very almost. I could become for the September examination ready. ME
has to only make a review Homer, and you brush on my Latin."
"And Your uncle Godfrey is ready to help her/it through."
"That gives me an idea, mother. It would cost so much Uncle Godfrey
as nine hundred dollars for year on and above all the help that I was able
gets from the funds of university, and perhaps to teach this school
winter. Now, if he allowed me that sum for an only year and impediment
I go to work, I could pay on all debts of father, and it give him/it a new
beginning. It would save Uncle Godfrey nine hundred dollars."
"He has put his/her heart on Your going to the university. I don't think him
both of accord to help her/it to everybody if you disappoint him/it."
"In every case, I could try the experiment. Anything has to be
fact, mother."
"Yes, Grant there is without doubt of that. The Mr. Evidently Tudor is in
serious. If we don't pay him/it to us, I think him/it very probable he will refuse
to allow us to have more anything on credit. And you know there is anybody
other shop of groceries in the village."
"Does have him some money to pay him/it on account, mother?"
