Description
Excerpt: A DISTRICT MESSENGER BOY. Chapter 1. UNWILLING PASSENGERS. ?What is your name, boy?? ?Joe Curtis, sir.? ?And your number?? ?Two hundred and ninety?seven.? ?Very well, now listen to what I say, and see that you do exactly as I tell you. I am going to Providence by the Sound steamer that sails in an hour and a half; take these tickets, go to the office of the boat, get the key of the stateroom I have engaged and paid for, and put these satchels in it.? ?Yes, sir.? ?Then wait near the gangway of the steamer until I come, for I shall probably be late, as I have to take a sick friend with me. Be sure to have the room ready, so that I can have him carried directly from the carriage to his berth.? ?I will wait for you, sir.? ?What are the rates?? ?For an hour and a half, ninety cents, sir, and car fare extra if you want me to get there in a hurry.? ?Very well, here is a dollar, and see that you do exactly as I have told you.?
