"'We have named him Benjamin'—how those words went to my heart!"
"It was the first time that you ever heard of me, wasn't it, uncle?"
"Yes, yes; it makes me happy to hear you say that. And you will never forget me, will you, Ben?"
"Never, uncle, if I live to be eighty years old! But, uncle, you sold the pamphlets!"
"Yes. When I read your name in Josiah's letter I felt a weight lifted from my mind. I said to myself that I would part with myself—that is, the pamphlets—for you."
"Did you sell them for me, uncle?"
"Yes, I sold them for you, Benjamin."
"What was the man's name that bought them, uncle?"
"I hoped that you would ask me that. His name was Axel. Repeat it, Ben."
"Axel."
