3/35 "Phoebe Dawes? When I went into school and found her sitting there I was so surprised I didn't know what to do. She knew me, too, and said good morning, and was I all right again and was my dress really as bad as it looked to be? She said that was nice, and then 'twas time for school to begin." "Did she say anything about me ?" inquired Captain Cy when they were seated at the dinner table. She must have found out who you are, 'cause she said she was surprised that a man who had made his money out of hides should have been so careless about the creatures that wore 'em." "Humph! How'd she get along with the young ones in school ?" It appeared that she had gotten along very well with them. |
