The correct answer is Ginger Nut. Taken from the short story “Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street” by the American writer Herman Melville (1853), the character described in the excerpt above is Ginger Nut, the Lawyer's errand boy. In order to understand which is the character that the excerpt describes, one should read the previous sentences: “Ginger Nut, the third on my list, was a lad some twelve years old. His father was a carman, ambitious of seeing his son on the bench instead of a cart, before he died. So he sent him to my office as student at law, errand boy, and cleaner and sweeper, at the rate of one dollar a week.”. Here, the character described as a student of law, errand boy, and cleaner and sweeper is Ginger Nut, whose father sent him to the narrator’s office.
