Now I am going to ask of you a favor.

Will you lend me thirty or forty dollars, to pay my fare home?
I will pay you back in a month or two months sure, after I get to work.

I will also pay you the few dollars which I borrowed some time ago.

I ought to have done it before, but I was thoughtless, and I kept putting it off.

Now, Harry, I know you have the money, and you can lend it to me just as well as not, and I'll be sure to pay it back before you need it.
