These topics were taboo and Captain Obed soon ceased to mention them. Also he no longer made daily calls at the ex-barber-shop and, in spite of himself, could not help showing, when he did call, the resentment he felt. John noticed this and there was a growing coldness between the two. "But," declared the captain, stoutly, when he and Thankful were together, "I still say 'tain't so.

Next day, when Captain Obed made his customary call at the ex-barber-shop, he ventured to ask the question uppermost in his mind. "Have you decided yet, John?" he asked. His friend looked at him. "Meaning what?" he queried. "Meanin' you know what I mean well enough. Have you decided to take your cousin's offer?"

The young man was still doubtful of East Wellmouth's promise of professional opportunities.
