I thought if you'd just start the word around that he's all right that somebody else confessed to what he's accused of that you'd seen the proof with your own eyes and could vouch for his being all right if you'd just give him a welcoming hand and show you believed in him it would make all the difference in the world in Danny's home-coming.
