Chapter V
“Oh, I shall take care of you, young man,--don't be afraid. I've stood your friend too long, and your name's been mixed up too much with my girl's, for me to let you come to shame openly, if I can help it. I'm going to see Dr. Wills about you, and I'm going to see Mrs. Bird, and try to patch it up somehow.” “And--and--where shall I go?” gasped Bartley. “You might go to the Devil, for all I cared for you,” said the old man, with the contempt which he no longer cared to make ironical.
