He'd ha' been stone blind now if 'tweren't for you--and the mercy o' God." "The mercy of God," Doctor Joe repeated reverently.

What wonder that Thomas Angus and his family were quite beside themselves with joy, shouting themselves hoarse down there on the jetty.
And presently, when the skiff drew alongside, and Doctor Joe stepped out upon the jetty, he was quite overwhelmed with the welcome he received.
"Well, Thomas," he said as they walked up to the cabin with Jamie clinging to one of his hands and Andy to the other, "here I am back again, as you see.

I couldn't stay away from you dear, good people.

I may as well confess, I was homesick for you before I reached New York, and I'm back to stay.

I found my fortune had been made while I was here, and now I can do as I please." "Oh, that's fine now!" exclaimed Margaret.
