I shall rely upon your taste." "Thank you, sir," said Ben, gratified by the compliment.
He received instructions as to price and quantity, which he carefully noted down.
"As it will save me a journey, not to speak of my time, I am willing to pay your fare one way." "Thank you, sir; you are very kind." Mr.Crawford took from the money drawer a dollar, and handed it to Ben.
"But I buy an excursion ticket, so that my fare each way will be but seventy-five cents." "Never mind, the balance will go toward your dinner." "There, mother, what do you say now ?" said Ben, on Saturday night.
"Mr.Crawford is going to pay half my expenses, and I am going to buy some goods for him." "I am glad he reposes so much confidence in you, Ben.

I hope you won't lose his money." "Oh, I don't carry any.

He buys on thirty days.

Barclay.
