The Adventures of a Three-Guinea Watch

CHAPTER FIVE
5/9

Do this, and you'll turn out a far better man than the man who is talking to you.
Whenever you are in trouble come to me, I shall always be glad to see you.

I promised you, you know, I would ask for you occasionally, didn't I?
And now let's see what you've got in your head." And then followed a brief examination, conducted in a way which put Charlie quite at his ease, and so enabled him to acquit himself with a fair amount of credit and win from his master a commendation, which he prized not a little, for it was that his father's efforts had not been wasted on him.
"You will be put in the second-form," said the doctor, "and if you work hard, I see no reason why you should not get up into the third next midsummer.

Now, good-bye.

I hope you won't find the head master of Randlebury is as `stiff and stuck-up a fellow' as you dreaded, and I trust I shall find you as honest and brave a fellow as I hoped you would turn out the first time I saw you.

Good-bye." Charlie rose to leave with overflowing heart.
