“Of course, Mother,” agreed Maysie. “Come on!” and off started Maysie, firmly grasping her bag of cakes.
“Why, Maysie, you forgot to thank the gentleman,” said the elder sister.
“Her face has thanked me already,” said Mr. Ledwell.
Maysie, however, thus reminded of her manners, turned and said,—
“Oh, thank you, sir, so much.”
Instantly Maysie was off, followed by her brother and sister.
“Grandpapa,” said Sam, as Mr. Ledwell took his seat in the sleigh, “I think you are the very best grandpapa in town.”
“I am glad you do, Sam,” said Grandpapa.
“Now, if God will only make Billy see, we shall be all right,” said Sam, with his decided nod. “I shall pray to Him every night and ask Him to, and He is so good and kind that I’m pretty sure He will do it.”
