Now then, you see these two boys runnin' away from the gap?","She hasn't told me anything, sir.","Understand, brothers," the deacon admonished as they parted, "we must be careful not to let them poor, ignorant people think we're doin' this little act of Christianity because they've seen fit to fulfill their promise to us regardin' fish. That would spoil the spirit of our givin'. Let not one man among us so much as mention fish. Brotherly kindness, Christian example. That's our motto, brothers, and we'll foller it.","Not you," says Paul, quickly. "What is it to you? It will not take a penny out of your pocket.
