“Read his letter and you will see.”
Mrs. Winter read the letter eagerly. Her face showed the surprise she felt.
“Ben acting in a theater!” she exclaimed. “It hardly seems possible.”
“Read these newspaper clippings and you will see that he is acting well.”
Mrs. Winter read the notices, and her eyes lighted up with gladness and pride.
“I shall feel much happier now,” she said. “I have been worrying about Ben, and fancying that he might be suffering.”
“Ben is smart. He will make his way.”
When Jacob Winter came home he said to his wife, “Have you heard from that boy of yours?”
“Not directly. Albert Graham had a letter.”
“Beggin’ for money as like as not. I wonder he got money enough for postage.”
