Everybody said of my father, when they learned of this: 'How much he is like his uncle, Captain Baltus. She has the true family piety, too. The saying in Schenectady used to be: 'The Van Hoorns are a God-fearing people and they have reason to be." I could not but laugh at this, the while I protested that it was his views upon the tidings in the letter that I wished.
"For that matter," I answered, lightly, "it does not seem to me that either the Van Hoorns or the dead Mauverensens have much to do with it." I remembered my mother's parting remark to me, and added: "The only Van Hoorn I know of in the Valley will not be at all pleased to learn I have brought you back." "Nobody will be pleased," he said, gloomily.
I did not wholly understand his meaning, but answered: "Why, yes, the Van Hoorns are a very good family noble in some branches, in fact and my father had his sheepskin from Utrecht. But what of it?" "What I would say is, you have acted in all this like a gentleman." I could not help smiling to myself, now that I saw what was in his mind.
