“Not the one we use on this job,” laughed Bob. “We used that back in Virginia.” And during supper Ted made Bob tell the adventures he had had in Virginia with the man who was now in entire charge of the dam. O'er the fancy-kindling brain. "Not in the least," replied the Princess; "I admire in you everything you have mentioned.".
