"Leslie, you don't know, do you?" asked Mrs. Minturn. "He didn't say

"Douglas did tell me in connection with Mr. Minturn joining the
Brotherhood and taking a gamin from the streets into his office, that he
said he was scarcely allowed to see his own sons, not to exercise the
slightest control, so he was going to try his theories on a Little
Brother. But Douglas wouldn't mention it, only to me, and of course I
wouldn't repeat it to any one. Mr. Minturn seemed to feel that Douglas
thought it peculiar for a man having sons, to take so much pains with a
newsboy; they're great friends, so he said that much to Bruce."
"'He said that much----'" scoffed Mrs. Minturn.
