[Now or Never by Oliver Optic]@TWC D-Link bookNow or Never CHAPTER V 10/11
You want the money to go into business with--to buy your stock of books ?" "O, no, sir; I am going to apply to Mr.Bayard for that." "Just so; Mr.Bayard is the gentleman whose daughter you saved ?" "Yes, sir.
I want this money to pay off Mr.Hardhand.We owe him but sixty dollars now, and he has threatened to turn us out, if it is not paid by to-morrow noon." "The old hunks!" Bobby briefly related to the squire the events of the morning, much to the indignation and disgust of the honest, kind-hearted man.
The courageous boy detailed more clearly his purpose, and doubted not he should be able to pay the loan in a few months. "Very well, Bobby, here is the money;" and the squire took it from his wallet, and gave it to him. "Thank you, sir.
May Heaven bless you! I shall certainly pay you." "Don't worry about it, Bobby.
Pay it when you get ready." "I will give you my note, and----" The squire laughed heartily at this, and told him that, as he was a minor, his note was not good for anything. "You shall see whether it is, or not," returned Bobby.
