[Just David by Eleanor H. Porter]@TWC D-Link bookJust David CHAPTER XV 14/15
When he knew Mr.Jack better--perhaps then he would tell; but not now.
NOW Mr.Jack might think he was a thief, and that he could not bear.
So he took up his violin and began to play; and in the charm of the music Mr.Jack seemed to forget the gold-pieces--which was exactly what David had intended should happen. Not until David had said good-bye some time later, did he remember the purpose--the special purpose--for which he had come.
He turned back with a radiant face. "Oh, and Mr.Jack, I 'most forgot," he cried.
"I was going to tell you. I saw you yesterday--I did, and I almost waved to you." "Did you? Where were you ?" "Over there in the window--the tower window" he crowed jubilantly. "Oh, you went again, then, I suppose, to see Miss Holbrook." The man's voice sounded so oddly cold and distant that David noticed it at once.
