"I see," said Mr. Martin. "Well, in that case, I'll help a little chap out."
Mr. Barlow hitched up his horse and put the big pane of glass in the wagon. They reached the house with the big pane all safe.
While Mr. Barlow put it in, Bobby stood watching him and looking at the clock every once in a while. When it was all done, he handed the four dollars to Mr. Barlow.
"And thank you ever so much for coming to-day," he said.
"It won't take as much as that," said the carpenter. And he handed a dollar back to Bobby.
"What time did you say Mother was coming?" he asked.
"On the four o'clock train," answered Bobby.
"There is time to wash it if you will bring the things," said Mr. Barlow.
Bobby washed the inside, while Mr. Barlow washed the outside.
And there was the Big Window, whole and bright and shiny again.
