What made him go out ?" "Because we said we were so glad papa was coming home on New Year's day.

I'm sure he must have thought of his home.

They won't be so glad to see him on New Year's day, as we are to see our dear, good father." "Why do you say that, my son ?" asked the mother.
"I'm sure they can't be so glad," said Edward.

"I know I wouldn't be so glad to see my father, if he was like Mr.Foster.

Doesn't he spend nearly all the money he gets in liquor?
I've heard you say that his poor wife and children hardly have enough to eat or to wear, although he gets very good wages, and could make them comfortable if he would.
No, I'm sure they can't love him as we love our father, nor be as glad to see him come home as we will be to see our father.
