Phil's instinctive cowardice, however, did not abandon him.
Amory's again, as his record was too black to be used as a convenient reference, but Phil and I and all the fellows told him we should be only too glad to let bygones be bygones, and that he had really done the square thing at the last. He did come back, and Phil's letters to me tell me that his old enemy is one of the most popular deservedly in the school, and his best friend.
"We must just keep a sharp look-out, and get our work done quickly. I'm glad now that we made those extra holes in the bank, though it did seem rather unnecessary at the time."
