"Do you think I am English, too?" asked the boy, eagerly.
"I think so; yes, I think so," answered Ben, cautiously.
"Have you any idea who I am—who were my parents?"
"No, I don't know," said Ben, slowly.
"Can you guess?"
"Don't trouble me now," said Ben, peevishly. "I am not well. My head is confused. Some day I will think it over and tell you what I know."
"But if I am not here?"
"I will write it down and give it to the doctor."
"That will do," said Tony. "I know he will keep it for me. Now, good-by."
