I am a poor boy." "Hardly that, when there is so much property in the family." "I know Mr.Manning too well to believe that I shall derive much benefit from it. No, Herbert, I have my own living to make, and I want to make it in my own way." "It is a sad change for you, Frank." "No, I can't say that. I don't know how it is, Herbert, but I am rather glad to have all this thrown upon me. I enjoy feeling that I have got to work." "I have a chance of enjoying the same feelings," said Herbert, with a smile. |
