Michael was not in his customary spirits. With some difficulty, Iinduced him to tell me the reason. He had decided on giving notice to leave his situation in the General's employment. As soon as I could command myself, I asked what had happened to justify this incomprehensible proceeding on his part. He silently offered me a letter. It was written by the master whom he had served before he came to us; and it announced that an employment as secretary was offered to him, in the house of a gentleman who was "interested in his creditable efforts to improve his position in the world."What it cost me to preserve the outward appearance of composure as I handed back the letter, I am ashamed to tell. I spoke to him with some bitterness. "Your wishes are gratified," I said; "Idon't wonder that you are eager to leave your place." He reined back his horse and repeated my words. "Eager to leave my place? Iam heart-broken at leaving it." I was reckless enough to ask why.
