When I first struck this place, I hadn't more than fifteen cents to my name, hadn'tol ag except what I stood up in, and all the place I had to sleep was an empty tar barre},"speedPar "My dear Robinson," replied Jones, "if you imagine I've had no experience of hardshipthat sort, you never made a bigger mistake in your life. When I first walked into thisyn I hadn't a cent, sir, not a cent, and as for lodging, all the place I had for months andonths was an old piano box up a lane, behind a factory."“My dear Jones," Robinson broke in, "You merely show that you don't know what abarrel is like.

"Don't talk to me about winds. This piano box had a wholerned plank off it. I used to sit there studying in the evenings, and the snow would blowa foot deep. And yet, sir," he continued "I don't mind admitting that some of the happiestlys of my life were spent in that same old box. I'd wake up there in the mornings andout with high spirits. Of course, you may not be able to stand that kind of life."“Not stand it!" cried Robinson fiercely! "By God! I am made for it. I just wish I hadtaste of the old life again for a while. What a grand old life it was! I can rememberrenings when I'd have two or three fellows in, and we would sit round and play cards20, a candle half the night.""Two or three!" laughed Jones; "why, my dear fellow, half dozen of used to sit down toipper in my piano box, and have a game of cards afterwards. Mighty good suppers theyere too!

Oh, anything, nothing -I never care what I eat-give me a littleold porridge, if you've got it, anything you like, it's all the same to me."The waiter turned with an impassive face to Robinson.61 |
