It had been a good dream and he was loath to give it up. He made one more effort.,Mrs. Lind waddled hastily across the deck and squeezed herself down the narrow stairway.,John looked triumphantly at Lisa and Olea.,A smile went round, but Mother was crying and Father, with arms folded, was looking up earnestly at Johnny. From amidst the group of workmen, old Rolfsen, foreman at the wharf, elbowed his way to the table.,“You—you think Congress will authorize it?” ventured Bob, just to make sure.，“Oh, Mother!
