"No
excuse,"
said
Mr.
Duncan
Ross.
"Not
sick
or
busy.
You
must
stay,
or
you
lose
the
job."
"And
the
work?"
"Copy
the
Encyclopædia
Britannica.
The
first
book
is
there.
Bring
your
own
ink
and
pens.
We
give
you
a
table
and
chair.
Can
you
start
tomorrow?"
"Yes,"
I
said.
"Goodbye,
Mr.
Jabez
Wilson.
Congratulations
on
your
new
job."
He
showed
me
out.
I
went
home
with
my
helper,
very
happy.
"I
thought
about
it
all
day.
By
night,
I
felt
sad
again.
I
thought
it
was
a
trick.
Why
pay
so
much
for
copying?
Vincent
Spaulding
tried
to
cheer
me
up.
By
bedtime,
I
thought
it
was
not
real.
But
in
the
morning,
I
decided
to
try.
I
bought
ink,
a
pen,
and
paper.
I
went
to
Pope’s
Court."
"I
was
surprised
and
happy.
Everything
was
ready.
Mr.
Duncan
Ross
was
there.
He
started
me
on
the
letter
A
and
then
left.
He
came
back
sometimes.
At
two
o'clock,
he
said
goodbye
and
locked
the
door."
"This
happened
every
day,
Mr.
Holmes.
On
Saturday,
the
manager
gave
me
four
gold
coins
for
my
work.
It
was
the
same
next
week.
I
came
at
ten
and
left
at
two.
Mr.
Duncan
Ross
came
less
and
then
not
at
all.
I
never
left
the
room.
The
job
was
too
good."
