When James received an offer of nearly three pounds a month from the manufacturer, he was filled with surprise. It was nearly ten shillings more than was usually paid. "I want just such a hand as you in my business," said the man; "and you may come as soon as you like, and remain as long as you please." WHEN JAMES RECEIVED AN OFFER OF NEARLY THREE POUNDS A MONTH FROM THE MANUFACTURER HE WAS FILLED WITH SURPRISE IT WAS NEARLY TEN SHILLINGS MORE THAN WAS USUALLY PAID I WANT JUST SUCH A HAND AS YOU IN MY BUSINESS SAID THE MAN AND YOU MAY COME AS SOON AS YOU LIKE AND REMAIN AS LONG AS YOU PLEASE
The farmer replied that without James he should have altogether too many. He had engaged them with the intention of getting James to lead them, because of the wonderful influence he had over them. "James," said the farmer, "is a fast worker, and all the time he so interests the boys with stories, anecdotes, and fun, that they do their best to keep up with him. I am quite willing," he continued, "to pay James something extra, and I shall then be the gainer by engaging him." The farmer had employed James before at similar work, and therefore he knew the value of such an active, cheerful servant. Once more he agreed to take command of the weeders, and the work was again done to the entire satisfaction of the shrewd farmer. The last job in which James helped the carpenter was the building of a shed in connection with a large potash factory. The owner of the works saw him, and noticed how he gave his whole mind to the business in hand. As soon as it was done, he was eager to employ the lad.
