"I should like to have company." "You will be a great deal of company for Pliny," observed Mr.Tarbox, rubbing his hands with satisfaction.

"Just of an age and of congenial tastes." Frank hardly expected to find Pliny very congenial, but he wished to obtain some information, which he thought the latter could give him, and he also wanted to see something of Newark.
"I say, your name is Frank, isn't it ?" commenced Pliny: "Yes." "The old man's awful glad to see you." "I am glad of it.

He has received me very kindly." "Got up an extra supper for you.

We don't often get steak for supper." This was rather an embarrassing revelation, and surprised Frank somewhat.

The supper had not seemed to him at all extra.
