Aunt Jemima says you had a good night and it won't be long now before you are yourself again." The radiant smile on the sick man's face blossomed into a laugh: "Yes--the best night that I have had since I was taken ill, and--Where did you sleep, my son ?" "Me!--Oh, I had a fine time--long, well-ventilated room with two windows and private staircase; nice pine bedstead--very comfortable place for this part of the town." St.George looked at him and his eyes filled. His mind was neither on his own questions nor on Harry's answers. How fine and strong you are my son--not like your father--you're like your mother. |
