Erie laughed softly, "I know very well you've had a hand in his reform, Billy," she said. "Sounds reasonable. And you still think so, eh?" Billy's frown vanished. "Fine, Harry, fine," he commended, "an' I'll go down to the store with you. Come up to the house, now, and I'll manage to sneak you out some supper." "But, Mary, there's a doctor at Bridgetown now and—".
