These two printers I found poorly qualified for their business. Bradford had not been bred to it, and was very illiterate; and Keimer, tho' something of a scholar, was a mere compositor, knowing nothing of presswork. He had been one of the French prophets, and could act their enthusiastic agitations. At this time he did not profess any particular religion, but something of all on occasion; was very ignorant of the world, and had, as I afterward found, a good deal of the knave in his composition. He did not like my lodging at Bradford's while I work'd with him. He had a house, indeed, but without furniture, so he could not lodge me; but he got me a lodging at Mr. Read's, before mentioned, who was the owner of his house; and, my chest and clothes being come by this time, I made rather a more respectable appearance in the eyes of Miss Read than I had done when she first happen'd to see me eating my roll in the street.

白话
富兰克林发现这两个印刷商都不太靠谱：布拉德福德没受过专业训练，文化水平也低；凯默虽然有点学问，但只会排字，不懂印刷机的操作。凯默还曾是个狂热的宗教信徒，能表演那种激情澎湃的样子，但当时他并不信奉任何特定宗教，只是偶尔装装样子。他对世事很无知，后来富兰克林发现他品行不端。凯默不喜欢富兰克林住在布拉德福德家，但他自己虽有房子却没家具，没法提供住宿，只好安排富兰克林住到里德先生家——也就是他房子的房东。这时富兰克林的箱子和衣服都到了，所以在里德小姐眼里，他比当初在街上啃面包时体面多了。
上下文
本杰明·富兰克林在自传中回忆自己年轻时在费城印刷店打工的经历，对比了两位老板的不足，并提到与里德小姐的初次相遇。
