This was Jack\u003cbr\u003eHarding, who is to be our hero.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes, sir,\" said Jack, with alacrity, hastening to the horse's head;\u003cbr\u003e\"I'll hold him as long as you like.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"All right! I'm going in at No. 39; I won't be long.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"That's what I call good luck,\" said Jack to himself. \"No boy wants a\u003cbr\u003ejob more than I do. Father's out of work, rent's most due, and Aunt\u003cbr\u003eRachel's worrying our lives out with predicting that we'll all be in\u003cbr\u003ethe poorhouse inside of three months. It's enough to make a fellow feel\u003cbr\u003eblue, listenin' to her complainin' and groanin' all the time. Wonder\u003cbr\u003ewhether she was always so. Mother says she was disappointed in love\u003cbr\u003ewhen she was young. I guess that's the reason.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Have you set up a carriage, Jack?\" asked a boy acquaintance, coming up\u003cbr\u003eand recognizing Jack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Yes,\" said Jack, \"but it ain't for long. I shall set down again pretty\u003cbr\u003esoon.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I thought your grandmother had left you a fortune, and you had set up a\u003cbr\u003eteam.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"No such good news. It belongs to a gentleman that's inside.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Inside the carriage?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"No, in No. 39.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"How long's he going to stay?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"I don't know.\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082468573424,"sku":"2940013265370","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013265370","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
