"Be you? And what'll David say?" asked Richard.
"He'll understand very well. 'Tis for him I shall do it. I lay he'll be glad."
"Why don't he go along with you?"
"Not yet; but he'll come after some day."
"Where's your luggage to?" asked the practical Samson.
"Don't want none--no luggage--no money--no ticket--only a pinch of courage. Mr. Shillabeer taught me the way. If you've out-lived your usefulness, 'tis better to make room for better people. And there's no such thing as wrong-doing, Dick, because God A'mighty, being all-powerful, won't let it happen. You and Samson might think as you do wrong sometimes."
"So they tell us," admitted Samson.
"Not you--you're God's children and can't no more do wrong than the birds and the angels."
"That's worth knowing," said Richard.
