Well, good by, Rodney! I leave school tomorrow. I am going to learn a trade. I am sorry to part with you, David. Couldn't you stay another term? No: my uncle says I must be earning my living, and I have a chance to learn the carpenter's trade. Where are you going? To Duffield, some twenty miles away. I wish I were in your shoes. You have no money cares, and can go on quietly and complete your education. I don't know how I am situated, David. I only know that my guardian pays my expenses at this boarding school. Yes, you are a star boarder, and have the nicest room in the institution. I am only a poor day scholar. Still I feel thankful that I have been allowed to remain as long as I have. Who is your guardian? A Mr. Benjamin Fielding, of New York. Is he a business man? I believe so. Do you know how much you will inherit when you come of age? asked David, after a short pause. I haven't an idea. It seems to me your guardian ought to have told you. I scarcely know my guardian. Five years ago I spent a week at his home. I don't remember much about it except that he lives in a handsome house, and has plenty of servants. Since then, as you know, I have passed most of my time here, except that in the summer I was allowed to board at the Catskills or any country place I might select.
