"‘No
excuse
will
work,’
said
Mr.
Duncan
Ross.
‘Not
sickness
or
business
or
anything
else.
You
must
stay,
or
you
lose
your
job.’"
"‘And
the
work?’"
"‘Is
to
copy
out
the
Encyclopædia
Britannica.
There
is
the
first
volume
in
that
cabinet.
You
must
bring
your
own
ink,
pens,
and
paper,
but
we
provide
this
table
and
chair.
Will
you
be
ready
tomorrow?’"
"‘Certainly,’
I
answered."
"‘Then,
goodbye,
Mr.
Jabez
Wilson,
and
congratulations
on
this
important
job
you
have
got.’
He
showed
me
out
of
the
room,
and
I
went
home
with
my
assistant,
not
knowing
what
to
say
or
do
because
I
was
so
happy."
"I
thought
about
it
all
day,
and
by
evening
I
felt
low
again.
I
convinced
myself
it
was
some
big
joke
or
trick,
but
I
couldn’t
understand
why.
It
seemed
unbelievable
that
someone
would
make
such
a
will
or
pay
so
much
for
copying
the
Encyclopædia
Britannica.
Vincent
Spaulding
tried
to
cheer
me
up,
but
by
bedtime,
I
doubted
everything.
However,
in
the
morning
I
decided
to
try
it
anyway,
so
I
bought
a
bottle
of
ink,
a
pen,
and
some
paper,
and
went
to
Pope’s
Court."
"To
my
surprise,
everything
was
fine.
The
table
was
ready
for
me,
and
Mr.
Duncan
Ross
was
there
to
see
me
start.
He
set
me
on
the
letter
A,
then
left
but
checked
on
me
sometimes.
At
two
o’clock,
he
said
goodbye,
praised
my
work,
and
locked
the
office
door
after
me."
"This
happened
every
day,
Mr.
Holmes,
and
on
Saturday
the
manager
gave
me
four
gold
coins
for
my
week’s
work.
It
was
the
same
the
next
week
and
the
one
after.
Every
morning
I
arrived
at
ten,
and
every
afternoon
I
left
at
two.
Over
time,
Mr.
Duncan
Ross
came
in
less,
and
then
not
at
all.
But
I
never
dared
to
leave
the
room,
as
I
was
not
sure
when
he
might
come,
and
the
job
was
so
good
for
me."
