"They certainly do," exclaimed Bob. "I wish I was one of them." "If the war lasts long enough maybe you will be." "The United States can certainly raise a big army." "Indeed it can," his father agreed.
"Are you going to shake hands with me?" he asked, still with the grim smile. "Yes. I will shake hands with you, Gregory," Mrs. Forrester replied. "Because, in spite of everything, I am fond of you.
