"Yes," he said, "I believe your accounting system could be improved--it will take
me months to get around to it, as my work is primarily in the shop, at first, at
least. You can save both time and money by having your books audited by a firm
of public accountants who can also suggest a new and more up-to-date system."
"Not a bad idea," said Compton. "I think we will do it."
For another half-hour they discussed Jimmy's work, and then as the latter was
leaving Compton stopped him.
"By the way, you don't happen to know of a good stenographer, do you? Miss
Withe is leaving me Saturday."
Jimmy thought a moment. Instantly he thought of Little Eva and what she had
said of her experience as a stenographer, and her desire to abandon her present
life for something in the line of her former work. Here was a chance to repay her
in some measure for her kindness to him.
"Yes," he said, "I do know of a young lady who, I believe, could do the work. Shall
I have her call on you?"
"If you will, please," replied Compton
As Jimmy left the office Compton rang for Bince, and when the latter came, told
him of his plan to employ a firm of accountants to renovate their entire system of
bookkeeping.
"
Is that one of Torrance's suggestions?" asked Bince.
