"He might."
"I am surprised to hear you say so, Charley," said Frank, hurt by the doubts of his friend.
"He might have thought that Farmer Whipple would never find him out."
"That wouldn't have made any difference with Tony."
"He might have thought, too, how much good the money would do his mother."
"Tony never could have thought that stolen money would do his mother any good."
"Perhaps he did not think anything about the wickedness of the act."
"Is it possible, Charley, that you have so poor an opinion of Tony as that? I shouldn't think you would wish to associate with him now."
"I don't know," said Charles, apparently absorbed by his own thoughts. "Do you think we ought to have him in the club till after this thing is settled?"
"Why, Charley! You can't think how it hurts my feelings to hear you talk so."
