came up at the summons

I can only say that I accept your offer with gratitude, Mr. Marden Conventions in Hong Kong

That's all right. You may consider me your guardian for the time being.

Twenty minutes more brought them to the Chicago station.

The hackmen were on hand with their offers of transportation, but the miner declined.

I want to unfold myself, he said, and I reckon I'll walk. My bag isn't heavy, for I don't[Pg 79] carry round a dress suit. I suppose you're able to walk, Robert?

Yes, I would prefer it.

So, unheeding the hackmen, they started for the Palmer House, which was less than half a mile distant. When Robert came in sight of the hotel, he was impressed by the large size and handsome appearance of the structure.

I shouldn't dare to put up at such a hotel if I were alone, he said with a smile.

No, I reckon not. As it is, you are all right. Let us go in.

They walked in to the office.

I want a room with two beds, said the miner, after registering his name.

All right, sir. Front!

A bell-boy came up at the summons.

Take this gentleman and his son to 297.

The bell-boy took their bags and preceded them to the elevator.

Did you hear what the clerk said, Robert? He called you my son dermes

.

Yes, I heard him.

I haven't chick nor child, and have no right to have, as I never married, but if I did have a son, you would suit me as well as any boy I know.
