Miss Peyton laughed at this remark, and Dick went upstairs to get ready for his visit to Madison Avenue.
Our hero felt a little bashful about this visit. He was afraid that he would do or say something that was improper, or that something would slip out which would betray his vagabond life of the streets.
"I wish you was going with me, Fosdick," he said.
"You'll get along well enough alone, Dick. Don't be afraid."
"You see I aint used to society, Fosdick."
"Nor I either."
"But it seems to come natural to you. I'm always makin' some blunder."
"You'll get over that in time, Dick. It's because you have so much fun in you. I am more sober. Miss Peyton seems very much amused by your odd remarks."

"What's that?"

Another excellent and inspirational book by Horatio Alger. This is the sequel to the even better Ragged Dick. Among his many virtues, Alger shows quite a bit of insight into how business works and how people rise in the world. Namely:
(a) he understands that good decisions often come down to being a
This is the warm-hearted conclusion to the abruptly ending and rather preachingly moral children's tale, Ragged Dick, the story of a New York Boot-black. In this tale Ragged Dick, now Richard Hunter, continues "cultivating himself," again meets with a set of lucky circumstances (with some unlucky on
A look at olden times that is enjoyable partially because it is so dated. I like the optimism that one can succeed in life through hard work. If only I had read these when I was a boy . . .
OK. Here we go again. I love Ragged Dick. Our hero, now known as Richard Hunter, is moving up the corporate ladder so so speak, but he's not lost his light-hearted mischief. He is just so engaging. Too bad Horatio Alger couldn't write the rest of his characters as engaging as Dick. Of course, we kno
