Book excerpt: A stone's throw from the mansion was a neat and spacious carriage house. The late master of Castle Roscoe had been fond of driving, and kept three horses and two carriages. One of the latter was an old-fashioned coach; while there was, besides, a light buggy, which Hector was accustomed to consider his own. It was he, generally, who used this, for his father preferred to take a driver, and generally took an airing, either alone or with Hector, in the more stately carriage, drawn by two horses.

Everything, even to the luxuriously appointed room in which he sat, indicated wealth and the ease which comes from affluence. Mr. Roscoe looked around him with exultation. "And all this may be mine," he said to himself, "if I am only bold. What is it old Pindar says? 'Boldness is the beginning of victory.' I have forgotten nearly all I learned in school, but I remember that. There is some risk, perhaps, but not much, and I owe something to my son-" He was interrupted by the entrance of the servant with a small leather bag, which was used to hold mail matter, going from or coming to the house. The servant unlocked the bag, and emptied the contents on the desk. There were three or four papers and two letters. It was the last which attracted Mr. Roscoe's attention.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hector's Inheritance: Or the Boys of Smith Institute Moreover, I employ competent teachers, and guarantee rapid progress, when the student is of good, natural capacity, and willing to work. "I think you will agree with me that it is unwise to economize when the proper training of a youth is in question, and that a cheap school is little better than no school at all. "I have only to add that I shall he most happy to receive your young nephew, if you decide to send him to me, and will take personal pains to promote his advancement. I remain, dear sir, your obedient servant, "Dionysus Radix." Mr. Roscoe threw the letter down upon the desk with an impatient gesture. "Five hundred dollars a year!" he exclaimed. "What can the man be thinking of? Why when I went to school, twenty-five years since, less than half this sum was charged. The man is evidently rapacious. Let me see what this other letter says."

Again we will look over Mr. Roscoe's shoulder, and read what it contains. It was postmarked Smithville, and the envelope was disfigured by a blot.
