ABSTRACT

Philip had money in the Fosters’ bank, not so much as it might have been if he had not had to pay for the furniture in his house. Much of this furniture was old, and had belonged to the brothers Foster, and they had let Philip have it at a very reasonable rate; but still the purchase of it had diminished the amount of his savings. But on the sum which he possessed he drew largely – he drew all – nay, he overdrew his account somewhat, to his former masters’ dismay, although the kindness of their hearts o overruled the harder arguments of their heads.
