How you managed to get him out, without both of you going down, is more than I can understand." "He dived in and swam out with me," Walter informed him. "Quite so. And you wished my son to say nothing about it?" added the banker with a twinkle in his eyes, not wholly lost on the boy who was standing so rigidly before him, steeling himself to the most trying ordeal he ever had experienced.
What were our other light troubles, compared with this? Arthur, will they publicly accuse you?" "It may come to that; I have been steeling myself all the morning to meet it."
