So the talk ran on until the meal was finished. Then the burly man bowed pleasantly and the two separated.
When Tom rejoined his brothers Sam asked him about the man.
"I'm sure I've seen him before," he said. "But where is more than
I can say."
"I think I've seen him, too," said Dick. "And I must say I don't much like his looks."
When Tom told of the conversation that had been held, Dick shook his head seriously.
"I wouldn't talk so much, Tom," he remarked. "It won't do any good, and it may do harm, you know."
"I'll be more careful hereafter, Dick. I am sorry myself that I had so much to say," returned Tom.
