"We've got to help Bob," said Toby, decidedly, as he arose to his feet again, and went towards the unfortunate clown. "If you fellers will try to hold him, I'll get on his back, an' then Bob can get away." "But he'll throw you off, an' hurt you," objected Abner, trying to prevent his newly made friend from going. "I can stop him from doing that, an' it's the only way I know of to help Bob."
"There will be no occasion to do that, Bob. Captain O'Halloran will be getting leave, soon after he comes over, and then he can bring Carrie here." And he smiled slily to himself. "He mayn't be able to get leave for some time," Bob said. "I think, uncle, I shall run over, directly they arrive." "Perhaps the firm won't be able to spare you," Mr. Bale remarked.
"A summons to stay away," said Bob, thereby more or less accurately describing it. "What would you have thought of me if I had not come?" Cynthia was not prepared for any such question as this. She had meant to ask the questions herself. But she never lacked for words to protect herself.
He displayed a sheet of paper covered with much writing and decorated with a large seal. Yancy viewed this formidable document with respect, but did not offer to take it. "Read it," he said mildly. Balaam scratched his head. "I don't know that hit's my duty to do that, Bob. Hit's my duty to serve it on to you. But I can tell you what's into hit, leavin' out the law which don't matter nohow."
How the three laughed and talked and enjoyed themselves over their supper, and how Bob revelled in the soft, warm blankets of Captain Hanks' berth when he finally, for the first time in weeks, was enabled to undress and crawl into bed, can better be imagined than described.

'Oh, certainly. He leaves it to me, she pretended proudly. 'But, you see, women in parades do offend some people.
"Molly," said the mother, as the girl listlessly went about her preparations for bed, "don't grieve so about Bob. Father and John need him there. It's business, you know." The daughter answered, "Yes, I know, but I'm so lonesome so lonesome." Then she sobbed, "You know he hasn't written for a whole week, and I'm afraid afraid!"
I do wish the Guerin girls could be there, but we'll see them at the school." "I'd like to see that Winifred Marion chap," declared Bob. "A boy with a girl's name has his troubles cut out for him, I should say." "Lots of 'em have girls' names in history," contributed Betty absently. "What time do we get into Washington, Bob?"
But even the prospect of going to a theatre a treat Bob had never enjoyed while with his guardian failed to appease him, and his usually cheerful expression gave way to one of resigned gloom. Noting this, and desirous of restoring the boy's good spirits, an officer suggested: "Let's go over to Kansas City. How'd you like that, Bob?" "First rate. Then I can get my pass again."
Carr will be in command of one boat, Mr. Bender the other, and I will go in my gig. Bob, you and Mr. Tarbill will go with me. Pull well away from the wreck, men, and lay to until we are all together.
