He was always good to us, never anything but good. But now there is only this to say: we wish to bid this boy welcome. We know him, and it will surprise me if he does not prove the same sort as the old gentleman. And that is the reason we welcome you, Johnny Blossom.”,"Alas! no, sister, only a flock of sheep.",That their discovery had a good chance of being acted upon, was a big measure of reward to the two boys.
