Billy's mind worked with lightning speed. "Six hundred tons out and six hundred home. That is twelve hundred. I don't know what freights are, but they must rule high, and, kindly creature as he is, Acton is the man to know to what market to drive his pigs. I think you have done very well; besides obtaining occupation which may conduct you to something higher or at least better, you stand to clear about a hundred pounds by this voyage——" Somewhere behind him Billy heard a giggle, which was immediately suppressed as he turned and looked over his shoulder..
