"Oh, I don't know as he could say anything," said Lapham hopelessly; and neither of them said anything more till they crossed the Milldam and found themselves between the rows of city houses. "Don't drive past the new house, Si," pleaded his wife. "I couldn't bear to see it. Drive drive up Bolingbroke Street.
Having some doubts as to the direct road to the city, he hailed a man in a butcher's cart, who not only pointed the way, but gave him an invitation to ride with him, which Bobby was glad to accept. They crossed the Milldam, and the little pilgrim forgot the long walk he had taken forgot Riverdale, his mother, Squire Lee, and Annie, for the time, in the absorbing interest of the exciting scene.
