Cast Upon the Breakers

Well good by Rodney! I leave school tomorrow. I am going to learn a trade. I am sorry to part with you David. Couldn't you stay another term? No: my uncle says I must be earning my living and I have a chance to learn the carpenter's trade. Where are you going? To Duffield some twenty miles away. I wish I were in your shoes. You have no money cares and can go on quietly and complete your education. I don't know how I am situated David. I only know that my guardian pays my expenses at this boarding school.
