In "To My Old Master," which quote from the text best states a claim
Jourdon makes about the value of
his past service to the Colonel?
"This will make us forget
and forgive old scores
and rely on your justice
and friendship in the
future."
"I want to know
particularly what the good
chance is you propose to
give me. I am doing
tolerably well here. I get
$25 a month, with
victuals and clothing"
"...we have concluded to
test your sincerity by
asking you to send us our
wages for the time we
served you."
"At $25 a month for me,
and $2 a week for Mandy,
our earnings would
amount to $11,680. Add
to this the interest for the
time our wages have
been kept back"
