βGolly!β said Archie, regarding the wreckage remorsefully.
Mr. Brewster did not share his remorse. For the second time that night he gripped him by the hand.
βMy boy!β he quavered. He stared at Archie as if he were seeing him with new eyes. βMy dear boy, you were through the war, were you not?β
βEh? Oh yes! Right through the jolly old war.β
βWhat was your rank?β
βOh, second lieutenant.β
βYou ought to have been a general!β Mr. Brewster clasped his hand once more in a vigorous embrace. βI only hope,β he added βthat your son will be like you!β
There are certain compliments, or compliments coming from certain sources, before which modesty reels, stunned. Archieβs did.
He swallowed convulsively. He had never thought to hear these words from Daniel Brewster.
βHow would it be, old thing,β he said almost brokenly, βif you and I trickled down to the bar and had a spot of sherbet?β
