Wait till half past one . He lunches at one , and he is n't quite such a brute after luncheon . Then you come in like Julius Caesar , and brag like blazes , and offer him twenty pounds ' worth of industry and ability , and above all arithmetic , and he will say he has no opening -LRB- and that is a lie -RRB- , and offer you fifteen shillings , perhaps . '' `` If he does , I 'll jump at it , '' said Hope , eagerly .
