He was about seven years old, and precocious in quickness of a particular kind, as is very often the case with vagrant children. Theodore's reverie was broken at last by the arrival of his good old housekeeper, who came in, flurried and indignant, to inform him that the woman she had been in search of was no where to be found.
Theodore received his well-worded congratulations with an ill-concealed scowl. "My car's waiting," said Fenger. "Won't you let me take you home?" A warning pressure from Theodore. "Thanks, no. We have a car. Theodore's very tired." "I can quite believe that." "Not tired," growled Theodore, like a great boy. "I'm hungry. Starved. I never eat before playing."
Then to write a dozen pages under his dictation to suggest a word, polish off a period, or help him out with a complicated idea or a half-remembered fact. This is all, I say; and yet this is much. Theodore's apparent success proves it to be much, as well as the old man's satisfaction. It is a part; he has to simulate.
As he came near, Captain Yorke released his hold upon Rob's collar; then tightening that upon Theodore's, the still stalwart old seaman lifted the boy from his feet, and, stepping close to the basin of the fountain, plunged him over his head in the icy water.
However, not long afterwards, Gobaze and his father seized their opportunity, deserted from Theodore's army, and retired into Lasta. They had not much difficulty in inducing the mountaineers to espouse their cause, and declare themselves independent. Theodore deputed to suppress that insurrection the rebel's own cousin, called Wakshum Teferi, a brave soldier and splendid horseman.
During that rainy season Theodore's difficulties were very great: indeed, the punishment of his evil deeds was falling heavily upon him, and to his proud nature it must have been a daily and constant agony. The rebels were now so little afraid of Theodore that every night they made attacks on his camp, and were always on the watch to seize stragglers, or camp-followers.
It was not until he opened up the old man's books on the subject of wills that Garrison found the slightest clew, and then he came upon a postal-card addressed to "Sykey Robinson, Esq.," from Theodore's mother. It mentioned the fact that she had arrived quite safely at "the house," and requested that her husband forward a pair of her glasses, left behind when she started.
The omnipresent staff photographer seemed to sniff his victim from afar. Theodore's first appearance was to be in Chicago as soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, in the season's opening program in October. It is an institution. Its patrons will admit the existence, but not the superiority of similar organizations in Boston, Philadelphia and New York.

On the afternoon of the 10th November we started for Kedaref. Our route now lay in a more southerly direction.
He received this morning a letter from one of his sisters the young widow announcing her engagement to a clergyman whose acquaintance she has recently made, and intimating her expectation of an immediate union with the gentleman a ceremony which would require Theodore's attendance. Theodore, in high good humor, read the letter aloud at breakfast and, to tell the truth, it was a charming epistle.
