Excerpt from The Island Treasure: Or, Harry Darrel's Fortunes Jabez Welter's "office" was one of the lower front rooms of the old Welter homestead in Wayback. Mr. Welter himself was the village pettifogger, justice of the peace, and moneylender on a small scale. At the time my story opens he was sitting at a writing-table sorting over some legal-looking documents. Mr. Jabez Welter was tall and sallow, with stooping shoulders and iron-gray hair. Blair Welter, has seventeen-year-old son, stood leaning against the opposite wall with his hands in his pockets and a scowl on his heavy features. The scowl was due to a discussion going on between the two. "And I say, " growled Blair, continuing it, "that I've got a chance to sell the dog, and what's more, I mean to. It's nothing to you, anyway! You've gobbled everything else that Uncle Caleb left, you ought to be satisfied!"
