This lady and I have got news for you.

Do you know what 'tis ?" Jed looked at Mrs.Armstrong and then at the speaker.
"No-o," he said, slowly.
"Well, to begin with it's this: Lute Small is leavin' the Orham National a week from next Saturday by a vote of eight to one.

The directors and the cashier and I are the eight and he's the one.
Ho, ho! And who do you suppose comes aboard on the next Monday mornin' to take over what Lute has left of the job?
Eh?
Who?
Why, your own candidate, that's who." Jed started.

Again he looked at Mrs.Armstrong and, as if in answer to that look, she spoke.
"Yes, Mr.Winslow," she said, quickly, "my brother is coming to Orham and Captain Hunniwell has given him the position.

It is really you to whom he owes it all.
