Frank Whitney was indeed surprised to find the ragged boot-black of a year before so wonderfullychanged. He grasped Dick's hand, and shook it heartily."Uncle," he said, "this is Dick. Isn't he changed?""It is a change I am glad to see," said Mr. Whitney, also extending his hand; "for it appears to be achange for the better.

Frank Whitney was indeed surprised to find the ragged boot-black of a year before so wonderfullychanged. He grasped Dick's hand, and shook it heartily."Uncle," he said, "this is Dick. Isn't he changed?""It is a change I am glad to see," said Mr. Whitney, also extending his hand; "for it appears to be achange for the better. And who is this other young man?""This is my private tutor," said Dick, presenting Fosdick, -"Professor Fosdick. He's been teachin'me every evenin' for most a year. His terms is very reasonable. If it hadn't been for him, I nevershould have reached my present high position in literature and science.""I am glad to make your acquaintance, Professor Fosdick," said Frank, laughing. "May I inquirewhether my friend Dick owes his elegant system of pronunciation to your instructions?""Dick can speak more correctly when he pleases," said Fosdick; "but sometimes he falls back intohis old way. He understands the common English branches very well.""Then he must have worked hard; for when I first met him a year ago, he was-""As ignorant as a horse," interrupted Dick. "It was you that first made me ambitious, Frank. Iwanted to be like you, and grow up 'spectable.""Respectable, Dick," suggested Fosdick."Yes, that's what I mean. I didn't always want to be a boot-black, so I worked hard, and with thehelp of Professor Fosdick, I've got up a little way. But I'm goin' to climb higher.""I am very glad to hear it, my young friend," said Mr. Whitney. "It is always pleasant to see a youngman fighting his way upward. In this free country there is every inducement for effort, howeverunpromising may be the early circumstances in which one is placed.
