“Give us an apple,” whispered Stephen to Nils. Nils did not answer, but gave Stephen a sly look and then made a hideous face. That steals the sweetness from the shepherd's flute: “Thank you, Bob,” he said slowly. “But I can’t let you give up your ambition for mine. You would not be happy, nor after a time would I, for I realize that your desire to be an engineer is not just a whim. You could not be a good lawyer unless your heart were in it, and I don’t want a son of mine to be anything but a good lawyer, if he’s one at all.

You are old enough to decide for yourself, my son.”.

“If you still feel that way in the fall, I might take you along with me when I drift out. I’ll be going up north then, I think.” “Take great care of this—there is a good deal of money in it—and run down to Tellef’s grandmother with it at once. Say that it comes from Kingthorpe.” “We’ll bring it right down to the boat now,” said John. And the goat that had lived all summer in the yard back of the barn was forthwith untied and taken out the back way down to Jensen’s Wharf. “Yes, there’s a trail but there’s nothing much down there anyway.” This from Jerry in an unenthusiastic tone..
