"Much obliged, Alex," he said. "That's all right," Alex mumbled as he struck a match. "How do you feel now, uncle?" "First rate," Uncle Mosha replied as he blew out great clouds of smoke; "although I ought to feel a whole lot worse, Alex, when I see Maxie Gershon here. Twenty-five years ago I seen him last and he looks the same fat-faced feller with the black eyes.
"I'm not sick, papa," she said in reply; "but oh, I miss Maxie so!" The words were almost a sob, and she clung about her father's neck, hiding her face on his shoulder.
It can't be helped, you know; and we have our dear papa and Mamma Vi, and the little ones left. Besides, Maxie will come home again to visit us one of these days." "Oh, but he'll never live at home with us any more," sobbed Gracie; "at least I'm afraid he won't; and and oh, I do love him so! and he's the only big brother we have."
To think of us meeting away out here in the middle of the ocean and both of us knowing Maxie Hockstein in Grand Rapids. It only goes to show one thing this certainly is a mighty small world." ...

As they spoke the door into their little sitting-room opened and Max put in his head, crying in his turn, "Merry Christmas to you all papa and Mamma Vi, Lulu and Gracie." A chorus of merry Christmases answered him; then Lulu asked, "What did Santa Claus put in your stocking, Maxie?"
Rope in your pal and hold him down at the table till the finish. Lucille, the beautiful vision on the sky-line yonder, and I will be at another table entertaining Maxie Blumenthal" "Who on earth is Maxie Blumenthal?" asked Lucille. "One of my boyhood chums. A music-publisher. I'll get him to come along, and then we'll all be set.
Oh, aren't you afraid they will drown?" "No, Gracie dear; I think we may safely trust your father's prudence and skill as a swimmer," Violet answered. "Ah, there come Grandma Rose and my mother; but Zoe and Betty seem to be enjoying it too much to leave yet." "Mamma, let's stay here till our people all come out; papa and Maxie, any way" Grace said, persuasively.
"Yup, Vermont. Londonderry." "I know where Londonderry is," she said. "My father took us skiing there." "Good old Maxie. Max Mueller, you should look him up when you go back east." "I will," she said. "When are you going?" "A week from tomorrow." "Oh." "Yes, I've had the ticket for two months." He poured them more wine.
I shall examine Max first," the captain said, seating himself at his writing-table. "Bring your books here, my son." "Are you dreadfully frightened, Maxie? very afraid of your new teacher?" Lulu asked laughingly as her brother obeyed the order. "I don't expect to faint with fright," he returned; "for I've a notion he's pretty fond of me." "Of you and of all his pupils," the captain said.
"I'm not sure about that," she said; "but I wanted to tell you how beautiful I think the china and glass and silver are." "Ah!" he said, smiling, "I am glad they meet your approval." "O papa! such a nice, nice home as you have made for us!" exclaimed Grace in her turn. "Isn't it, Maxie?" turning to her brother.
