Happening to glance out of the window, he saw Jerry coming up the path to the office, running with all the speed of which he was capable. And home was a good way off; first through the forest, then along the stone wall, and all across the Karine place, where everybody could see him. How disgusting! Where Eric was, or even which way he had gone in the woods, Johnny had no idea. “If you’ll let me, I want to go to Rensselaer and study civil engineering.

Home!” the boy’s voice broke on the word. “It wasn’t a home!” Kicking off his shoes, he wormed his way on his stomach towards the upper side of the coffer dam. Miguel was working on the lower side and Bob knew that the dam was sufficiently high to keep his actions hidden from the Mexican.
