Bennett—Why are you glad of that?
John—Because George Washington was an American, and I dearly love his memory, because he always spoke the truth, and was good and brave, and loved and saved his country.
Bennett—Who told you all this?
John—My grandfather first told me of Washington’s greatness, and goodness, and bravery, and since he died, I have read the Life of Washington several times.
Bennett—Where was your grandfather born?
John—In Scotland.
Bennett—Ah! then, you are of Scotch descent?
John—Yes, sir.
Bennett—Did you ever hear of Wallace?
John—Yes, sir, and of William Tell, and his son Albert, of Switzerland. Grandfather told me all about their courageous deeds and great love of country.
