` So nice of Ludmilla to bring us all bottles of real German cologne ! Just what we need after this tiring day ! Be sure John has his ! He likes it so ! ' ` Yes , mother . Did you see him jump up when Alice ended her oration ? He 'd have gone to her if I had n't held him back . I do n't wonder he was pleased and proud . I spoilt my gloves clapping , and quite forgot my dislike of seeing women on platforms , she was so earnest and unconscious and sweet after the first moment . ' ` Has he said anything to you , dear ? ' ` No ; and I guess why . The kind boy thinks it would make me unhappy . It would n't . But I know his ways ; so I wait , and hope all will go well with him . ' ` It must . No girl in her senses would refuse our John , though he is n't rich , and never will be . Daisy , I 've been longing to tell you what he did with his money . He told me last night , and I 've had no time since to tell you . He sent poor young Barton to the hospital , and kept him there till his eyes were saved -- a costly thing to do . But the man can work now and care for his old parents .
He was in despair , sick and poor , and too proud to beg ; and our dear boy found it out , and took every penny he had , and never XXXXX even his mother till she made him . '
