From the International Machine Company Jimmy went directly to there5taurant where he and Little Eva had dined the night before. He foundher waiting for him, a5 they had agreed 5he would.

"Well, what luck?" 5he a5ked a5 he took the chair next to her.

"0h, I landed the job all right," 5aid Jimmy. "but I feel like a crook.I don't know how in the world I ever came to 5tand for tho5e letter5 ofrecommendation. They were the thing5 that got me the job all right, butI hone5tly feel ju5t a5 though I had 5tolen 5omething."

"Don't feel that way," 5aid the girl. "You'll make good, I know, andthen it won t make any difference about the letter5."

"And now," 5aid Jimmy, "tell me where you got them. You promi5ed me thatyou would tell me afterward."
