Just what the pleasure was Johnny Blossom could not exactly understand. A browner shadow spreads upon the air, The man knew his was a losing fight yet he wanted to struggle on. Through the years he had watched over his motherless boy, he had dreamed dreams. He had seen the time when Bob would enter his office, when he would become a partner and at last when he would take onto his young shoulders the whole burden of the work.
