"I hope you will."
"Only to-day; to-morrow I must be moving towards Boston."
"I was hoping you would stay here a good long while. I shall be so pleased to bring you your breakfast, and dinner, and supper every day!"
"Your father would not like it."
"I don't know why he shouldn't. You are not very hungry; you don't eat as you did this morning."
"I ate so much then. Tell me, now, what your father said, Julia."
"He saw George Leman; and he told him how you tied his horse to the fence, and how careful you were to put the blanket on him, so that he shouldn't catch cold after his hard run. That was very kind of you, Harry, when you knew they were after you. Father said almost any one would have run the horse till he dropped down. That one thing showed that you were not a bad boy."
"I wouldn't have injured George Leman for anything," added Harry. "He's a good fellow, and never did me any harm."
"He said, when he found his horse, he was so glad he wouldn't have chased you any farther for all the world. He told father what Mr. Nason said about you—that you were a good boy, had good feelings, and were willing to work. He didn't blame you for not wanting to go to Jacob Wire's—wasn't that the man?"
"Yes."
