"Did you like studying?"
"Ever so much. I should be happy if I could go to school again, but Peggy says I know enough, and she needs me to earn my living."
"Do you know the name of that gentleman you pointed out to me?"
"No, I don't think I heard Peggy mention his name."
"How long has he been in the habit of coming to see you and Peggy?"
"He has only been there two or three times. Peggy didn't remember him at first. I think they used to know each other a good while ago."
"Suppose this gentleman's story were true, and you had a grandfather at the East who could take good care of you, would you be willing to go to him?"
"Would he be kind to me? Do you know him?" asked the little fellow eagerly.
"Yes, I know him, and I am sure he would be very kind to you. Would you be willing to leave Peggy?"
"Yes," answered little Jack promptly.
