This afternoon such an attractive little fellow
stopped here to ask for a drink in passing. Now Peter and I had decided
we'd try our hand at taking a city boy for a week or so for his vacation,
and twice Peter has left his work and gone to the trolley station to fetch
him, and he failed us. I supposed Peter had missed him, so when I saw the
boy coming, just the first glimpse my heart went right out to him----"
"Very likely----" assented Mr. Bruce.
"He surely is the most winning little chap I ever saw with his keen blue
eyes and that sort of light on his forehead," said the woman.
"I've noticed that," put in the man.
"Yes," she said, "anybody would see that almost the first thing. So I
thought he was the boy I was to mother coming, and I went right at the
job. He told me quick enough that I was mistaken, but I could see he was
in trouble. Someway I'd trust him with my character or my money, but I got
to be perfectly sure before I trust him with my children. You see I have
three, and if ever any of them go wrong, I don't want it to be because I
was _careless_.
