"I wonder he doesn't sign his name," said Lewis.
"So full of good feeling. He always admired you two girls so much," said their mother.
"Poor Seaton, money was always like water in his hands."

"Of course. Mother, when can we start?"

"You must thank him then," said Lewis, "he'll pass it on."
"I think Lewis does not half believe," said Jeanie.
"I believe in the money as the cheque looks good enough; to me the miracle seems to be in Seaton. He never could make money, and wasn't very generous."
