Ford, Paul Leicester, 1865-1902

"The Honorable Peter Stirling and What People Thought of Him"

How much do you
have?"
"I really haven't any now. I shall have two hundred dollars on the
first. But then I owe some bills."
"You forget your grandmamma's money, Dot."
"Oh! Of course. I shall be rich, Peter, I come into the income of my
property on Tuesday. I forget how much it is, but I'm sure I can afford
to have an opinion."
"Why, Dot, we must get those papers out, and you must find some one to
put the trust in legal shape, and take care of it for you," said Watts.
"I suppose," said Leonore to Peter, "if you have one lawyer to do all
your work, that he does each thing cheaper, doesn't he?"
"Yes. Because he divides what his client has, on several jobs, instead
of on one," Peter told her.
"Then I think I'll have you do it all. We'll come down and see you about
it. But write out that opinion at once, so that I can prove that I'm an
American."
"Very well. But there's a safer way, even, of making sure that you're an
American."
"What is that?" said Leonore, eagerly.
