"Only this, and that is that this afternoon's performance in that canoe was the only instance in my life where I thoroughly approved of the workings of Providence. Ordinarily the good die young and the guilty one escapes." "Is that all?" growled Jimmie. "Yes," I said, hesitatingly, "I think it is. Did I mention before that I thought you were thin?"
