Dr. Lanham thought that Jack might be allowed to attend school in the daytime in the winter season, and if the boy had as good stuff in him as he seemed to have, there was no reason why he shouldn’t come to something some day.
“Come to something!” said Susan. “Come to something! Why, he’ll make one of the best doctors in the country yet.”
And again Mr. Williams entirely agreed with Susan, Jack Dudley was sure to go up to the head of the class.
Jack got the place, and I doubt not fulfilled the hope of his friends. I know this, at least, that when a year or so later his good friend and teacher, Mr. Williams, was married to his good and stanch friend, Susan Lanham, Jack’s was one of the happiest faces at the wedding.
