He never told me about your being there." "He didn't know I was coming.

I only went to work this afternoon." "So you are the printer's devil ?" said Luke, with a slight sneer.
"I believe so," answered our hero, quietly.
"Do you get good pay ?" "Not much at first.

However, I can get along with what money I have, _and what is due me_." Luke Harrison understood the last allusion, and turned away abruptly.
He had no wish to pay up the money which he owed Harry, and for this reason was sorry to see him in the village.

He feared, if the conversation were continued, Harry would be asking for the money, and this would be disagreeable.
At this moment John Clapp entered the bar-room.

He nodded slightly to Harry, but walked up to Luke, and greeted him cordially.
