"Oh, yes, do tell him that it was splendid of him, splendid!" interrupted Delight.
"He's a gentleman, whoever he is," Captain Phineas added. "Tell him so from all of us."
"You might like to tell him so yourselves," returned Mr. Galbraith slowly.
"Eh?" Zenas Henry questioned. "Oh, we might write him, you mean. That's so. Likely it would be more decent. We'd be surer of his knowin' how we felt if 'twas put down in black an' white. What's his name?"
"Robert Morton."
"Robert Morton! Robert Mor—not our—not Bob!"
"Yes."
He saw Delight flush, and her eyes suddenly fill with tears.
"Bob!" she whispered half-aloud. "Bob!"
Zenas Henry drew her closer.
