"Tom Gates is now free, and can begin life anew." "His trouble will follow him everywhere," said Mrs.Rogers, with conviction.

"Who will employ a bookkeeper, or even a clerk who has been guilty of forgery ?" "I think I shall give him employment," replied Kenneth.
"You, Mr.Forbes!" "Yes.

I'm not afraid of a boy who became a criminal to save the girl he loved." "But all the world knows of his crime!" she exclaimed.
"The world forgets these things sooner than you suppose," he answered.
"I need a secretary, and in that position Tom Gates will quickly be able to live down this unfortunate affair.

And if he turns out as well as I expect, he will soon be able to marry Lucy and give her a comfortable home.

So now nothing remains but to find your girl, and we'll try to do that, I assure you." Mrs.Rogers was crying softly by this time, but it was from joy and relief.
