"No, no—to the committee! The Latkins will pull through without that. To the committee!"
"Well, to the committee—yes, to the committee. Only, I suppose we must write a line to the governor."
David looked at me: "You suppose?"
"Yes, of course we must write something. Just a few words."
"For example?"
"Well, for example, we might begin, 'Sympathizing,' or, 'Moved by'—-"
"'Moved by' will do very well."
"And we must add, 'this mite of ours.'"
"'Mite' is good, too. Now take your pen and sit down and write."
