“Oh, we found plenty to do,” said Jerry. The next day, when Jerry came to Mr. Whitney to tell him of his decision, Bob was there. The engineer listened to the boy and when he had finished told him that he could leave when it was most convenient. Choked, stifling with the intense heat, Bob fell on his face, remembering that smoke always rises. “Is that what the Service does?”.
