“I’m your man,” said Donald stepping forward.

The small man turned. The keen eyes under the bushy, light-coloured eyebrows studied Donald carefully. “Can you box?”

“I can.”

“Good! Come with me.”

Donald followed the sturdy little Australian. For a few blocks they walked in silence.

“ ’Ad your dinner?” queried the Australian.

“No.”

“We’ll ’ave a bite in ’ere.”

They turned into “Old Joe’s” restaurant.

“Sounds good to me,” observed Donald with a pleased smile.
