Here's Elder Kinney. Here's a lady askin' for you, Elder!"
Thayer's assent was rather curt in its brevity. Bobby's blunt, kindly questions hurt him; yet, after all, there was a sort of comfort in the hurt. After two years of silence, it was a relief to be able to speak of his trouble.

Our fleet was convoyed by three ironclads and several other gunboats.
