"Not living!" replied the stranger, with a sudden start. "Is Mrs. Weston living?"
"She is."
"She is my mother," added Tony.
"We are going up there now; and if you choose we will row you up," added the coxswain.
"Thank you," replied the stranger, as he seated himself by Frank's side.
Tony gazed at him with intense earnestness. The face looked natural to him, but he could not think where he had seen it before.
"Give way," said Frank.
"You have a beautiful boat," added the stranger.
"She is a very fine boat. I saw you at the trial, did I not?" asked Frank, looking with interest at his companion.
"I was there; it ended very happily."
