The trouble with you is that you've
drifted. You need responsibility. When
you're boss, you won't be loafing on
the job. You'd discharge an employee
who did that-and you can't discharge
yourself. Some day you'll wish you had
business of your own. Then you'll
look back and be sorry you didn't start
it when you were young. You can get
business, can't you?"
Il ought to-" said Tommy.
And you can-fix up-the business

fail, OF course. But you'll be doing 1t

Barbara, that he is going to start in

will be the very best thing for him."
She pulled hastings for ten seconds

Betsy Barbara stared and flushed.
