"Tim told me I'd find the coast clear, but I guess she's sound asleep, and won't hear nothing. I don't half like this job, but I've got to do as Tim told me. He says he's my father, so I s'pose it's all right. All the same, I shall be nabbed some day, and then the family'll be disgraced. It's a queer life I've led ever since I can remember.
I've got some I want to sell. 'I need it, said Sam, 'but I ain't got a cent. Well, mebbe I'd have trusted him for a load if he'd asked me, but it occurred to me to stand off an' see how he'd manage it. It's cold weather now, an' if he don't get it some way, his family'll go cold. I went by there again at noon-time, but he hadn't got none yit."
"You'll find your mother sitting up when you come back, and the next thing you know the whole family'll be moving to some nice little house wherever your work is. Things will never be so bad again as they have been this last year; that's what Hannah and I think;" and he drove away to tell his wife the news.
You would not have believed it could be the same policeman. He even giggled. "Thought you was away." "I was. In fact, I am, really. I just got sick of it and ran away for a day. Drove. Alone.

"But the Whittington family'll have to handle its own troubles. Now, fellow-members, to the question before the house! Unless I raise at least two hundred dollars in the next three months, it's no college for me in September." A short silence followed. Spurling took out his knife and deliberately slithered a long, splintery shaving off the fence-top. "I've an idea," he said, slowly.
"The family'll stick together." She thanked him in a soft little voice. "Dear me!" she murmured. "It does seem that you've been here a year, Will." "Never was told that I was such slow company before." "You know perfectly well that that isn't what I mean." "Well, you'll have to put up with me for a while, whatever I am; insomuch as I'm to be a manufacturer and the Lord knows what.
I'm French; that's what I'm after." "Well," said the other, "I'm after Art." "Well," said the first, "I'm after Art too; but I'm after French most." Then, dear mother, I am sorry to say the second one swore a little. He said, "Oh, damn French!" "No, I won't damn French," said his friend. "I'll acquire it that's what I'll do with it. I'll go right into a family." "What family'll you go into?"
