I suppose he thought it would be of no use, and I had an idea, too, that he was very glad to have Rectus determine on a college career.

I know the rest of us were.
And we didn't hold back from saying so, either.
Uncle Chipperton now began to praise Rectus, and he told what obligations the boy had put him under in Nassau, when he wrote to his father, and had that suit about the property stopped, and so relieved him--Uncle Chipperton--from cutting short his semi-tropical trip, and hurrying home to New York in the middle of winter.
"But the suit isn't stopped," said Mr.Colbert.

"You don't suppose I would pay any attention to a note like the one Sammy sent me, do you?
I just let the suit go on, of course.

It has not been decided yet, but I expect to gain it." At this, Uncle Chipperton grew very angry indeed.

It was astonishing to see how quickly he blazed up.
