[The Depot Master by Joseph C. Lincoln]@TWC D-Link bookThe Depot Master CHAPTER VI 49/61
'Walk along with me; I want to talk with you.
Now, as an older man, your nighest relation, and one that's come to love you like a son--yes, sir, like a son--I think it's my duty just now to say a word of advice.
You're goin' to marry a nice girl that's comin' in for a lot of money one of these days.
The professor, he's kind of old, his roof leaks consider'ble, and this trouble is likely to hurry the end along. "'Now, then,' Nate goes on, 'Augustus, my boy, what are you and that simple, childlike girl goin' to do with all that money? How are you goin' to take care of it? You and 'Livia--you mustn't mind my callin' her that 'cause she's goin' to be one of the family so soon--you'll want to be fussin' with science and such, and you won't have no time to attend to the finances.
You'll need a good, safe person to be your financial manager.
