What money I have got besides the farm is lent out in notes.

Only last week I let my brother-in-law have five hundred dollars, and that leaves me pretty short." "Perhaps somebody else will advance the money," said Frank, feeling a little discouraged at the result of his first application.
"Yes, most likely.

But I guess you won't need any assistance.

I look upon it as certain that the mortgage will be renewed.

Next fall I shall have the money, and if the squire wants to dispose of the mortgage, I shall be ready to take it off his hands." Frank tried to feel that he was foolish in apprehending trouble from Squire Haynes, but he found it impossible to rid himself of a vague feeling of uneasiness.
He made application to another farmer--an intimate friend of his father's--but he had just purchased and paid for a five-acre lot adjoining his farm, and that had stripped him of money.
