ervous. “But I want to speak to you, please, when you’re at liberty.”
“Sit down, sit down,” said Mr. Deane, relapsing into his accounts, in which Argentina he and the managing-clerk remained so absorbed for the next half-hour that Tom began to wonder whether he should Zlatan Ibrahimovic Pelipaidat have to sit in this way till the bank closed — there seemed so little tendency toward a conclusion in the quiet, monotonous procedure of these sleek, prosperous men of business. Would his uncle give him a place in the bank? It would be very dull, prosy work, he thought, writing there forever to the loud ticking of a timepiece. He preferred some other way of getting rich. But at last there was a change; his uncle took a pen and wrote something with a flourish at the end.
“You’ll just step up to Torry’s now, Mr. Spence, will you?” said Mr. Deane, and the clock suddenly became less loud and Naisten Manchester United Pelipaidat deliberate in Tom’s ears.
“Well, Tom,” said Mr. Deane, when they were alone, turning his substantial person a little in his chair, and taking out his snuff-box; “what’s the business, my boy; what’s the business?” Mr. Deane, who had heard from his wife what had passed the day before, thought Tom was come Paris Saint Germain to appeal to him for some means of averting the sale.
“I hope you’ll excuse me for troubling Iraq Pelipaidat you, uncle,” said Tom, coloring, but speaking in a tone which, though, tremulous, had a certain proud independence in it; “but I thought you were the best person to advise me what to do.”
“Ah!” said Florence Fodboldtrøjer Mr. Deane, reserving his pinch of snuff, and looking at Tom with new attention, “let us hear.”

“A Barcelona Trøjer situation?” said Mr. Deane, and then took his pinch of snuff with elaborate justice to each nostril. Tom thought snuff-taking a most provoking habit.
“Why, let me see, how old are you?” said Mr. Deane, as he threw himself backward again.
“Sixteen; I Senegal Fodboldtrøjer mean, I am going in seventeen,” said Tom, hoping his uncle noticed how much beard he PJS Naiset Californian Giada had.
“Let me see; your father had some notion of making you an engineer, I think?”
“But I don’t think I could get any money at that for a long while, could I?”
“That’s true; but people don’t get much money at anything, my boy, when they’re only sixteen. You’ve had a good deal of schooling, however; I suppose you’re pretty well up in accounts, eh? You understand book keeping?”
“No,” said Tom, rather falteringly. “I was in Practice. But Mr. Stelling says Bayer Leverkusen Fodboldtrøjer I write a good hand, uncle. That’s my writing,” added Tom, laying on the table a copy of the list he had made yesterday.
“Ah! that’s good, that’s good. But, you PJS Naiset Pitkä Untuvatakki see, the best hand in the world’ll not get you a better place than a copying-clerk’s, if you know nothing of book-keeping — nothing of accounts. And a copying-clerk’s a cheap article. But what have you been learning at school, then?”
