“And we must hope,” continued the Admiral, “that this boy will fulfil all the expectations that are centered in him”— “Some class, eh, Bob?” laughed Whiskers as they settled themselves. “I found it and try to get here every night. But let’s stop talking; it’s about to begin.” “Gee whiz, that’s some idea,” said Bob. “We can load our stuff on it and let it float down stream, can’t we?”.

I don't know just how long I sat by the open window all by myself, bathed in a perfect flood of moonlight and loneliness.

“But what happened to the rest? Did they get away?” Early one afternoon the three boys, Olaf, Herman, and Johnny, had a great desire to go rowing. They peered everywhere around the wharf for a boat that they could use. Not a sign of one was to be seen; not a boat of any kind—to say nothing of one that they could borrow in such a hurry. So they went round to the Custom House wharf. True as you live, there lay a dory, with oars and everything, right down at the foot of the little steps. They wouldn’t have dared to think of taking the boat if it had been at the big Custom House steps, but since it was at the little steps near the warehouse, it was probably not a Custom House boat at all. Johnny Blossom, for his part, was quite sure it was not. “Well, John,” said Mother. “What is the matter?” “No. I shan’t have to be taken up by a policeman ever any more.” Johnny shook his head energetically. “And I’m going to study hard. Thank you.”.
