He was honest in saying that he could not imagine how the bonds had been stolen, and yet he was also honest in not wanting to know the truth." "He might have confided in me," I said. "It would have been a good deal better if he had. But in order to understand Rad's point of view, you must take into account Jeff's character.

He knew that if he were to ask permission he would be refused, but if he and Rad together were to go it might receive favourable consideration on account of Rad's self-asserted reputation for common sense. For a wonder, Rad was impressed with the scheme, but was quite sure that they had "better not go together to ask Father." He "could manage that part better alone," and he did.

His raised voice now cut through the rumble of machinery and all the other noises of the shop. Even Rad Sampson's delirious cry was dwarfed by Mr. Swift's sharp tone: "Tom! The ticking of that watch! That means danger!" The declaration seemed to rip away a curtain from Tom's thoughts. Perhaps Rad's cry about "de bomb" aided the young inventor to understand the peril that threatened.

Is Rad's case hopeless?" "Oh, no, not yet. Of course it isn't yet sure that he will ever see again, but, on the other hand, it isn't decided that he can't. It's a fifty-fifty proposition." "But what makes you so serious?" "Was I?" "I should say so! You haven't told me one funny thing that Mr. Damon has said lately." "Oh, haven't I? Well, let me see now," and he sent the machine up a little.

It is much the attitude of the little boy who has been unfairly punished, and who derives an immense amount of satisfaction from the thought of how sorry his friends will be when he is dead. And now, I think we have Rad's case well in hand. In spite of the fact that he seems bound to be hung, we shall not have much difficulty in getting him off."
