Mr. Folsom.
"How much have you earned to-day, Joe?" "Five dollars and my supper." "That's good. Is the job finished?" "Yes, sir." "And you have nothing in view for to-morrow?" "No, sir; but I guess I shall run across a job." "Where are you going to spend the night?" "In a tent a little way down the street." "How much will they charge you?" "One dollar." "I wish my bed was large enough to hold two; you should be welcome to a share of it. But they don't provide very wide bedsteads in this country." Mr. Folsom's bed was about eighteen inches wide. "Thank you, sir," said Joe; "I shall do very well in the tent, I am sure." |
